The Best Feeling Ever
The reason why I created this site is because a few years ago I moved to the UK, and don’t get me wrong, I love it here. But I was shocked to find that the ‘mountains’ people expected me to snowboard on where in fact small hills. Seriously, they made the foothills of the Rockies look like Mount Everest and I felt that a little bit of education was needed before people went out and blindly booked their ski holidays.
Growing up I remember that the best feeling ever was when you climbed onto the gondola to go up to the top of Sunshine Village. And when you reached the get-off point you felt like you were on top of the world. And then you would climb on a chairlift and go even higher. I don’t know what it feels like to fly, but I imagine that it would be a similar experience to this.
The truth of the matter is that when you are flying down a hill with a board strapped to your feet nothing can touch you (that’s not entirely true, and I have a history of broken bones to prove it). There are no worries, your alone and you can be exactly who you are, whoever that happens to be. Of everything I miss most about Canada, the dearest one is the mountains, I miss being able to touch the sky. And I think that everyone should experience that, at least once.
