why we ski
from 150 years ago
Down the mountain side, like birds in flight, or meteors on a starry night - bending low to miss the breeze, flying past the stately trees, rushing down to the flat below, dancing over the "beautiful snow", falling, rolling, seeing stars... then hear the laughing crowd's hurrahs. Away down the valleys, where the oranges grow, they miss all the fun we have in the snow. |

"The mountains aren't much," George said. "No," said Nick. "They're too rocky. There's too much timber and they're too far away." "Yes," said George, "that's the way it is in California." "Yes," Nick said, "that's the way it is everywhere I've ever been." "Yes," said George, "that's the way it is." http://garretvoorhees.com/uploads/ht...untrysnow.html |
