My steep and deep days are behind me as well...

although for different reasons. Reasons I did not foresee... caught me blindsided. I simply don't have that desire anymore. No need, or at least very little, to test myself. To challenge myself... instead...

Swoosh with serenity. Words of anathema to youth.

I can remember skiing with near hysteria to get in as many runs in a day as I could.... and now? I don't even count.... I take the chair when I feel like it and if that's a mere 2 or 3 times in a day that's fine with me. - JamesJM
