Between Snow & Stars

Once you take your first ride up a lift your life will be changed forever. - Warren Miller


go play outside

He's the type of boy that is happiest when he has snow in his hair and air under his boots. He finds freedom getting lost in the mountains and as he stands on the edge of infinity, it is his own heart he can hear echoing through the ranges. It is at that moment that I know he truly is a child of winter. 



When you're a mountain person, you understand the brilliance and beauty of contradiction. The way the land can be your greatest teacher. 

How something can be both grounding and elevating...
intoxicating yet soothing, wild yet serene, intensely primal yet patient, and cycling yet predictable within the shifts and rhythms. 

Mountains keep us on edge yet wrap us in the sensation of safety all at once. 

I don't know of anything sweeter,
or more magic inducing
than that.
