The Journey of Mermer Blakeslee
“To ski is to flirt with gravity. We go up only to come down. Like love, skiing has within it, inherent in its very nature, the act of letting go. And it is this letting go, this feeling of a controlled fall that brings the thrill, the freedom, the feeling of being swept along in the fever of a new crush. But to willingly let go, to fall, we must move through that small passage of time which contains not only exhilaration but fear.”
from “A Conversation with Fear” by Mermer Blakeslee
