Rippin Skiers

Have you ever had one of these? A powder shot to the face? If you have, you know the feeling. It’s tremendously rewarding. On Saturday, I stood in a crowd of 50 plus people with my tallest Rippin Skier and hiked to the top of the ridge in Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin. Once we cleared the first fence, we quickly clicked into our skis and dropped in the bowl. I can tell you it was one of the scarier times with 50 plus crazy skiers and snowboarders going as fast as they can to get a fresh line of DEEP POW. I traversed and nearly got nailed twice so I quickly made a hard left and bombed down. I had a great line and was making killer turns. With each turn, I felt the powder nailing my face more and more. It’s truly a fantastic feeling. I was in my element and was increasing speed. I was knee deep. I found myself going quite fast and floating through the deep fresh powder. As I reached the lift, I realized that this is why I am still living here in Colorado. The love for skiing only multiplied during this run. It’s times like this that I know I am living a great life. Sure…I may not have all the money in the world, but even if I did, you can’t buy the feeling of a face shot aka powder shot to the face.
