Highland

Landforms as large as skyscrapers
A cold white mist rains from high up
The hustle and bustle hours from this spot
Pristine conditions on the slopes
What could be better than this?
The breeze is as harsh as a military general
Summer is a world away
The cold gives me blisters
People might call this weather horrendous
But What could be better than this?
The crish and swish of the skis against the ice-cold powder
A sport so fast shouldn’t be this calming, right?
But yet it is
Each run I ski down puts my breath at ease
I have done this so much it’s more than second nature
These wooden planks strapped to my heavy boots are like an extension of my legs
What could be better than this?
