Skiing

·215 words·2 mins

I LOVE to ski! Whether its in the French Alps or the far-away land of Canada, give me a mountain with snow, two planks to strap to my feet, and I’m the happiest person in the world! My first time on snow was in 1994 when I skied in Arinsal, Andorra. Since then, I’ve tried to escape to the mountains every year to get a fix of that fresh mountain air and that crisp snow.

Places I’ve skied:
