Addicted

Lately I find myself really wanting to go ski. But it's over now and it's a long time until next year.
 I have to be thankful for the epic days I had this winter.

I remember coming back to Spiez early on Monday morning after being in Bern for the weekend. All that day the weather was just perfect blue skies and sunny. I went to Thun for a while in the late afternoon/early evening and the mountains were so clear and close it felt like you could just reach out and touch them. Especially while waiting on the platform at the Thun train station at dusk in the evening light with the white peaks basked in the refection of the red setting sun contrasting against the fading blue sky. The whole day just praying that tomorrow would be the same because I just HAD to be up skiing in THOSE mountains. 

It was the same feeling as being stuck somewhere when you know that the surf is going off and you're missing out on it. 
Throughout the duration of that day I came to the realization of how important skiing in those mountains meant to me and Right then and there while waiting on that platform I knew that I was a ski addict.

One look out the window that next morning was all it took. As you can tell from the picture..the weather held off and stayed perfect for one more day and, as they say, the rest was history... An Absolutely EPIC day! One I'll be remembering for a long long time.
