The
Beauty of Boarding
| The
excitement builds with Joy I
can’t contain, while I scan the snow covered hills below, with wide eyes and a smile stretches up my cheeks. Taking in the moment, I feel nothing but pure joy, at what feels like the top of the world. Soft, white snow falls upon me, decorating my jacket and hair, as one settles onto my nose. Inhaling through my tingling nose, the smells of the pine trees surrounding me fill my nostrils before I take the plunge down this icy thrill of joy. The whoosh of the board, against the quietness and stillness of this Winter Wonderland calms me. The board becomes one with my feet as I whiz past trees around me, feeling as if it is the world I am passing. Minutes of this feeling of peacefulness go by before the village and lodges come into sight. With frozen toes, I dig my heels into the freshly fallen snow. As the powder clears away, I come to a stop. My thrill ride may have ended, but with ski lift in reach, I ride the icy chair to the summit to relive this joyous thrill ride again, and again, and again. |
