Black run, top station

I never learned the stopping part. I learned how to point myself downhill, and after that the mountain makes most of the decisions for me.

Pushing off. No plan past this.
the top, every morning
stopping, my way

The hat has two pom-poms on wires. At speed they lean back and I can feel exactly how fast I am going without looking at anything.

I go into the powder head first about once a day. For four seconds the world is white and completely silent. Then I get up and do it again.

The run, in order

01

Push off before thinking about it. Thinking is what causes falls.

02

Steep section. The poles are decorative here, I hold them out of politeness.

03

The turn where I always lose a pom-pom and always find it on the way back up.

04

Trees left, ice right, a completely reasonable amount of speed in the middle.

05

Bottom of the run. I stop by sitting down. It counts.
