It's been a while but what a great way to Celebrate a birthday. A great hike up the back of a snow filled mountain on a beautifully clear Saturday sunrise. The wall glowing warmth with a golden appeal from the morning haze and sun combined. Crisp cold mountain air ... Sweat off the brow from the steep sections of the Hike. The mountain squirrels doing their last bit of food storage before they settle in to their rocky mountain winter. Good friends walking the outdoors.
At the Exit, a world exposed and eager to be jumped into ... the unsettling nature of the slippery snow while peering over the edge at the spit in the wind. A base buddy squatting in a snow pit getting rid of the extra baggage. And in the back of my head some really peaceful instrumental music from a popular movie to support my excitement and eagerness to explore the jump.
All this combined to make one heck of a jump after one long year. A peacefully explosive launch. A short freefall and what seemed to be a 90 left with a cold stare from the nearby stone. I guess one could easily say that currency really helps with the subtle movements in body position that can easily have one staring at rock. Either way, what a great way to see life ... thanks for the mentoring Spence. You know this rock well and it is always cool to see you interact with this object while managing your own decisions ... I feel like I learn lots from your observations while I try to grow my own skill sets.
Loooook'in forward to a nice turkey boogie!
