The feel of cold air rushing by your face. The silence of a mountaintop, broken only by the sound of crushing snow. Sun so bright that the reflection momentarily blinds you as you turn the corner on a downhill run.
The above description is only words. To experience it in person, one must be an avid snowboarder. But if you can’t get to the mountain, then today’s FamSite is will have to do in the meantime.
