Bad snow
|
||||
|
Bad snow, most experts agree
is a phenomena of transition: snow whose crystals have not yet assumed their final form as hard spring ice or perfect corn.
Skiing bad snow, you get another view: from time to time a few turns simply happen, perfect turns where snow & skis, radius & arc, are one! It takes you by surprise. Afterwards with closed eyes you wonder about the descent, the snow & what it meant.
Perhaps we are phenomena of transition? ‘Bad snow’ only fear & superstition? When we have learned enough, skied & fallen enough, we will know that snow is only snow, that words like ‘bad’ & ‘good’ are just as absurd as those others, ‘ought’ & ‘should.’ |
