sleepless night

its dumping in the city. flakes the size of quarters are drifting down from the heavens covering the ground with natures best creation...snow! i just know that its puking up in the mountains right now... thousands and thousands of tons of snow are blanketing the cascades as i write this and i can barely contain my excitement for what tomorrow will bring... crystal? baker? both should be unreal. well decide in the morning, but for now, i wait in anticipation of what could be one of the most epic days of skiing in my life. i live for days like tomorrow. when preparation meets its opportunity, i don't think you can really call it luck... i envision the deep snow and the ease at which i pass through it. the feeling of weightlessness and effortless motion that only light powder skiing can invoke. everything covered in a deep layer of snow, muffling sound and softening light... a winter wonderland made for just me to move through and dance across at my whim. i know i will be thinking and anticipating tomorrow all night. i might get a little sleep, but even then, i know ill be dreaming of skiing...
