Life Lessons on the Slopes

I welcomed in 2023 in Telluride, Colorado.

I write this on day two of my stay. I am still getting to know the mountain and the town. It has a hippie sensibility and a cowboy spirit. Ski culture is a thing in and of itself. People are outfitted in puffy jackets in neon colors and metallic hues. Women are wrapped in fur coats and amazing leather boots. The food is hearty, and the beer is cold. Pizza tastes better after a long afternoon on the slopes. The Grateful Dead plays a little louder on the speakers.
