I did spend the day yesterday, at Alta with my bro's and long supporters of HHH. No, it wasn't getting in a few turns. We were working, more like doing my best to try to help. I can't call any of that work, as it is truly a break away from the realities of my day-to-day. They were still doing control (avalanche) when I first got up there. There is something about all of it that just takes me away. Skiing was and will always be my first love. The cold clear air, the deep snow and the sounds of charges echoing off the canyon...........man!
On a more real not; one of my neighbors lost his battle with the "Big-C" yesterday. A big quiet guy, that had been fighting for a while. They finally gave him a terminal diagnosis a couple months ago and he pushed the odds. What to say........... I wanna say this is why we fight, but it just keeps happening. Sometimes it's hard to believe any of this makes a difference - at times. For now, I'll have an image in my mind that will stick and likely frustrate me.
It all seems so empty this morning..................
I love winter, but I miss being able to ride over Monte when I need the solace. I remember an afternoon 40+ years ago, when times were good.
