TRACK DOWN WINTER WITH HOUSE RIDER GARRETT RUSSELL
Recently, I have found myself daydreaming often. I have been escaping summer heat and the noise of the cluttered concrete jungle with flashes of snowfall, powder slashes, waves of cold smoke streaming up from the edges of my skis in the mountainous expanse of my mind. But this brief respite from the doldrum of summer is not enough to satisfy the hunger of the skier within, the slumbering beast. I must feed my passion with the meaty center in the initiation of the turn, that feeling in my gut as the flex in the soft creamy goodness whomps me through the arc, the “phhlooohh” of a cloud, the sensation of the snow boiling up from my knees to my hips to my chest, the satisfying cold sting as my face cuts through the blanket of white with a frozen smile. Search yourself. Can you live without this for another second?! NO!
What are we to do? Where can we turn? How can we possibly survive until next winter?! TRACK WINTER DOWN!
