Chairlifts

Parker and I just got back from two days of snowboarding at The Canyons in Park City, Utah. I thought I'd share a few reflections and a few pictures over the next few days.

One of my reflections is that I love chairlifts! I think chairlifts are one of the most peaceful places on earth. It's so quiet. It feels like you are floating above the earth. It's just you and the person you're with. And it is a much needed rest between runs.

Chairlifts are the epitome of peace!

I shot this picture while on the Saddleback Express headed up to Snow Dancer.

On Earth, life is like speeding down the slopes, trying not to crash. But I imagine that in heaven, it'll be one big, endless chairlift.

Mark, I receive your blog through Feedblitz. Today I received chairlifts, the crash, webcast and for the love of pizza. Got to say I love it when you add the photos. Makes it real. Great blogs today!

Well, to each his own I guess. Personally, "Peaceful" is not the world I would choose to describe a chairlift. Sitting on a rickety bench with a hundred feet or so of air between me and the slope. Ugh, getting me on one of those things would be chasing a lion for sure. And this is from a guy who lives in Colorado!
