    Snow Angel

    Even as a child, long before skiing entered into my world, I loved snow. I have few childhood memories for some reason, but an abundance of them seem to include snow.

    I loved sledding in the hills around my house, making snowmen and the obvious snowball fights with the neighbors.

    However, the first thing I would do when jumping in the snow would be to fall backwards into it's welcoming embrace, and make a snow angel.

    I can still feel the slight resistance the snow would make against my double layer of levis. The snow falling over my hood into my face. Standing up and looking at your creation, trying to perfect the form. That was pure Joy.

    Well, on the way home today I have to cross over Teton Pass, where it has been snowing most of the day. I am going to pull my truck over, get out and make me one helluva snow angel. I will be 4 years old, and all will be right with the world.

    Levi's? Toughskin's were the shit back then. I haven't seen snow in like five months. Can't wait for the first snow here.

    Snow angels are great. My four-year old loves to make them, and I love to watch her innocence. God help any dude that comes calling to my house...

    Anyway, great sentiments - I am glad it's still warm here.

    How the hell did you know I made those? I totally forgot about hanging around the hottub up at Solitude and running over to make various snow demons.


    I really like snow.

    Finely wrought, old man. Savor your freedom in the hills and the wind in your head. And never, ever let your 4 year old grow up.
