The Blizzard of Ahhhhhhhhs

Lifted to the top of the new white world - the packed powder freeways flank my paradise.  The human traffic storms by each subtle entrance … oblivious to the world that I desperately seek.  I quickly slip into the quiet forest – leaving life and all worries behind.  Off-piste I am washed clean.  Immediately, the sweet/menacing trees rightfully reach out to embrace or disgrace me.  However, (on this perfect day) the butterluscious powder awakens my boards and I float untouched through the glorious wooded maze.  Creatively envisioning my tracks before they are laid in this gift of virgin snow ... experiencing euphoria with each turn and decision on this magical powder day.

We are not trying to race down a hill to see who can go the fastest.

We are trying to make the most of the terrain.

There are so many approaches to the same line, and how you decide to express yourself on a slope reflects your style and personality.

Titled Unicorn Sashimi, this 5 minute 30 second piece edges toward abstraction: there are no words and no discernible plot.
