On a recent powder day in Deer Valley, I finished my knee-deep run by skiing up to a companion at the Lady Morgan chairlift to wait for the rest of our group. As I stopped next to him, he exclaimed, “That was the best run of my life!” Then he jokingly said, “Of course the next run will probably be the best run of my life, too.”

That’s the thing about skiing and riding. I fall in love with the sport over and over again with each run. Whether I’m zig zagging through trees, dropping into a chute, ripping a groomer or bouncing around some moguls, I’m always finding something new and fun to experience. So, no matter how many years I’ve been skiing, or how many runs I’ve taken, this stuff just doesn’t get old.

On Sunday, I was skiing on a bluebird powder day at Squaw Valley. We were traversing across the top of a bowl and had a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountain peaks. Just as we were about to start our run, my friend turned around and said, “I just had one of those ‘I love skiing moments.’” I knew exactly what she meant.
