for some of us mountain yogi's the Holiday Spirit hits in different ways...
two days ago, i was again the first local to ski down our local ski area from top to bottom.
this may not seem that great, i know.
however,
i was first because
1) the ski area was closed
and
2) a third of the mountain only had an average of a few inches,
not even enough to cover the smallest of rocks.
now, what kind of a WF Warrior would i be if i was afraid of a few (million) rocks to bother my enjoyment of skiing, eh?
hey, welcome to Skiing in Arizona, baby! you gotta REALLY be creative if you are skier living here!
here, let me take you along...
Fresh Snow!
wake up...see that the Peak has been Blessed with new snow...crank off Early Morning Ritual (tm), prioritizing my "old faithful" routine; The Rock Vinyasa (tm), which is a sure cure for overcoming a stiff lower back and freeing up the Power Chain Musculature of the hips (see my DL on the hips earlier this week)...with my internal engine pre-lubed with Pranayama, Meditation, and Rock Vinaysa, i took a few Action Caps, Sport Caps, Metabalance 44, and BioBuilde and i was Empty, Light, and RARING to go...like allWays! THANK YOU, WF! For being such a TREMENDOUS best friend!
first headwall of my 2,635' K'tooled ascent up the ski runs. if it were up to me? i'd vote for snowmaking in exchange for the ski lifts! who needs ski lifts? Snowshoe Thompson didn't! neither does ilg! well, at least when i am training to defend Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon titles!...
