It had been eight years since I my brother Justin and I skied the Rocky Mountains together. Growing up – Justin and I spent our years ski racing together, and I remember all the good times we had on and off the slopes. A quick listen to the album “Subdivisions” by Rush will bring me back to riding as a passenger in his Subaru as we criss-crossed the New England slopes training for the next race or reaching for the next medal.

As the sun came up, the snow got soft, and skis got fast. The 22 runs flew by and as we took laps through the open space of the back bowls, we recorded video – just like we had all those years ago.
