I have always been envious of my friends who are skiers. While
I dread the upcoming winter, they actually are anxious to see the temperature
drop below freezing. The feeling of accomplishment that skiers feel at the
end of a difficult run that has been well executed must be exhilarating.
The sense of control, the rush of traveling at breakneck speeds, and of course,
the views of snow-filled mountains and valleys against a clear blue sky are
all reasons to head for the slopes. You find those sensations no where else...no
where except in an airplane.
