7° Cloudy and Dark. Just got back from the memorial service for a dear Friend who left us three months ago, so the moods a bit sombre. A very grey day today. Woke up and wanted to go skiing. Its one thing to wake up with thoughts of schussing when you can step outside and strap on some boards, but when you wake up to rain and green grass and a full day of school... well thats just mean. I hear that winter is still holding on in the high country, but the next couple of weeks will be a completely full schedule. Fortunately, I had an awesome winter this year, did a ton of nordic skiing, randonee race, trip to BC, Aspen, Steamboat, you name it. But some how, its just not enough. I can only dream of Shoveling snow from October to June. Possibly hit some of those couliors on the east side of I-70 coming back from deadville. Ive been looking at those for a while.
An idea I've been thinking about recently has been the pursuit of the endless winter. Some time after senior year, but places like Europe, N Zealand, Canada/AK, S America, maybe that would quench the thirst, that or feed the fire. Living the dream, epic film style stuff. But that would be sick. Not sure where the funds would come from, but dirtbagging, with savings, and a bunch of backcountry it could be done. got to keep telling myself that. It can all be done.
