With the first sprinkling of snow hitting the nearby hills (not quite on the local ones yet, but coming soon!), my mind’s been drifting to thoughts of winter. To help stoke the fire, I’ve been checking out a few ski videos – some good finds courtesy Doglotion, a freeskiing web magazine run by an old friend of mine. Other than getting psyched for the snow to fall, the guys in these videos have some inspiring words. Here are a couple recent favourites.

There’s a lot you can learn from a ski bum. Don’t believe me? Replace “ski bumming” with “pursuing your dream”:

ARE YOU READY!
“It’s just, you know, something that’s hard to explain but the comraderie and the, and the teamwork is what makes it happen – it’s what makes us able to, like, power through the fear and whatever other emotions you’re feeling, and get after it and get the lines that you’re dreaming of.”
