One to four hours hours to some of the best skiing on the planet. Depending on where I go.
I get a "multiple area" seasons pass every year, which used to be free, when I taught full time at Breckenridge.
Here's a video of other folks skiing one of my favorite runs at Breck... which I consider to be my "home" ski area.
I tend to rip it a lot faster, because... well... I CAN! Which is such a thrill after almost dying just a few years ago.
Celebrate life folks! On a scooter, banging the drums or a guitar. Whatever. Joy! It matters.
