I have never been skiing or even to a ski resort, and frankly the idea of it has always terrified me! But I can appreciate from the words and images you use here how life-affirming it must be. The vastness of the mountains and the solitude are appealing.
The only thing I can compare it to is when I'm walking deep into nature. Coming across natural landmarks and feeling that tiny insignificance always inspires me. I am lucky to live close to the Peak District in the UK; not quite The Matterhorn, but beautiful nonetheless!
Thanks for your reflection! I think there are a lot of similarities with any kind of presence “deep in nature,” as you say. I’ve yet to walk the Peak District but it seems to inspire many creative thinkers!
