Riding the powder.

So I find myself looking forward to snow-boarding, a sport I've never ever tried, although I've skiied on two separate occasions. The thought of having both feet planted in one snow board makes me feel safe, much safer than wearing skis where there exists the potential possibility of doing unintentional splits. I find myself sleepless at the prospect of tracing the contours of fresh glistening white powder on a sparse hilly mountain-side. And I find myself seeking for courage - courage for a great many things.
