the heart of snowboarding
is not a difficult jump
that looks cool on a screen
and is necessary
to sell you the new stuff.

the heart of snowboarding
is a slow easy glide
over a soft powder
on a local mountain
with people who love it too.

saturday was
a very sad day for me
because it was
the last weekend
of the season.

all the snow was melting
and it felt
like the entire world
was ending.

luckily, on sunday
new snow fell
and everything
was fine again.
