It sounds like the title for one of those "educational" stories you read in school, but no, it's not. I won a brand new snowboard from Prior - a Whistler-based company - for entering this in their writing contest. Fun.
Snow ghosts watch me slide past, floating silently on a cushion of fluffy powder down through an empty bowl. All I can see is the pure white, untouched slope below. Not a soul in sight. The sun shoots down through a break in the clouds and lights up the surface of the snow. I laugh out loud to myself, just the tiniest bit crazily. I can't believe I have this all to myself! Over my shoulder, my lone track winds its way down from the peak. I stop at the edge of a little cliff and listen to the silence.
Huzzah!
