Will
today be the day? Yesterday the pilot said maybe. It has been
snowing all morning.
11:48am
The
weather is definitely improving. Clearing to the tops of the
surrounding hills. Faint patches of blue sky. The wait has been
difficult, but not terrible. We went for a swim and sauna as a
group, went for sushi, made hamburgers together. The strain has been
noticeable though, and has stressed the group early in its bonding
stages.
I
think the wait has also been good for me. After my job finished at
Mt. Washington, I was hectic getting moved out of the winter
apartment. The down time has felt good and the chance to reflect is
healthy. I have been pondering my future in the winter recreation
world. Is it time to make a move.
Still,
I hope today is the day. I want to camp on a Glacier, climb peaks
seldom seen and turn it all into my playroom by skiing down a fun and
exciting line. Experiencing for a moment how it feels to move beyond
the limits of the human body. Is that hubris? Vanity? It feels like
it is my humanity, inherently fallible buy always capable of amazing
feats.
