I Jumped

Copper Mountain was a blast. Man, its tough to go skiing atfer you havent done it in a long time. It came back to me though. My friend Tim had his friend Jeff come with us, and he took us on some crazy stuff. Neither of us had been to Copper before but its a cool place to go. Jeff snowboards and does some of the harder runs. He took us off a few cliffs. I still cant get used to those moguls. Im fine on long open runs but moguls are tough.
Anyhow, the highlight of the day was going down this back bowl. Basically we went were few people go and jumped off this cliff down into powder. Oh man, it was sweet. Ive never been in powder like that before really. I fell twice on that run but both times it was because my skis dug in too deep. The second time I didnt want to get back up cause the powder was a soft cushy bed to me and I was soo tired at that point. Its one of those things were you had the be there, and its scary looking. I wouldnt have done it if Jeff didnt lead the way and I cant say I know anyone else crazy enough to do it right now.
Its pays to take a chance, seize an opportunity, live to make the day great. I have to tell you that when I was walking up there I almost wanted to turn around, and when I got there I definitely wanted to turn around, but once I committed to it I had sooo much fun, and it was unbelievable. I hope this job turns out the same. Im scared as hell right now to be going on straight commission, straight performance, but I know I gotta do it. Being scared is all right. I just need the courage and committment to follow through and make it into the great thing I know it can be. So here's to being scared.
