“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people
and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing?
- it’s the too-huge world vaulting us,
and it’s good-bye.
But we lean forward
to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
—Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Clark: I’m just trying to treat my family to a little fun.
Ellen Griswold: Oh spare me, Clark, I know your brand of family fun. Tomorrow you’ll probably kill the desk clerk, hold up a McDonalds, and drive us 1000 miles out of the way to see the world’s largest pile of mud!
“And Max,
the king of all wild things,
was lonely and wanted to be where
someone loved him best of all.”

It has been a long time since I hit the slopes, but I was reminded how much I adore skiing this past weekend. Depending on your mood you’re able to make it exciting and exhilarating…or relaxing and peaceful.
I’m also fascinated by other skiers and snowboarders as they come down the different runs in the bright white, powdery snow!
But after watching this video by Jacob Sutton of a glowing snowboarder gliding through the snow at night…I’m thinking skiing by starlight might really be where it’s at!
…ahhh, the combination of cinematography, lighting and music make this video so soothing to watch!
