I feel the cold surround my body side.
The Aspen winter slowly comes to freeze.
My speed is rising as I go on by,
I glide upon the now with gentile ease

I worry I will fling out of control.
The boots I wear do keep me from a slip.
Just one mistake will make my body roll.
I think of this and tighten my own grip.

The trees I see go blurry all around.
My self-reliance assures me of my skill.
Believing i have broken earthly bounds.
I reel to take a glance to see uphill.

The gentile lunges I do with my feet,
Have drawn a trace of me a ski length deep.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
