Winter. I miss it. It is warm-ish and sunny out. I haven't been able to ski for a while, and I miss it. I feel like I am having an affair on my favorite winter sport. Too much ice climbing, not nearly enough skiing. The current weather trends have me longing to hop on my bike and ride off into the sunset. Is it over? Will skiing ever take me back? I guess I haven't been totally unfaithful, i have been skate skiing quite a bit. It just isn't the same, though. No face shots, not as much solitude. I shouldn't be so hard on myself. It isn't my fault, the snow should be better. It forced me away. I can't help myself, I am just a man after all.

I need snow. Bad.
