Dozens of eyes
Focussed on the game
One pair finds the lens
With a Mona Lisa smile
The only face
I can’t quite read

Surf’s Up!
In all the world
Few things seem heartier
Or more profoundly confounding
To the meek
Than a thrill-seeker
Seeking thrills
Few things seem heartier
Or more profoundly confounding
To the meek
Than a thrill-seeker
Seeking thrills
Transcending Hardships
I find my way
Through the rockiness
Down the icy steeps
Traversing the flats
Through the rockiness
Down the icy steeps
Traversing the flats
Along the way
Seeking the deep powder
The cruisable hard pack
The soft moguls
The challenge
Is not so much the hardships
But remembering
What trandscending
The hardships brings
Symphony
Early season
Symphony of snow
Graceful waltzing arcs
Vigorous staccato bumps
Rhythms and melodies
Of edge and wax

Whistler Kid
This little thing
All jumbled in equipment
A little awkward seeming
A little bit disheveled
All jumbled in equipment
A little awkward seeming
A little bit disheveled
But point him down the hill
He’ll let them run
With surprising grace
And fluidity
Verdant Clouds
Rolling hills
Mimic clouds
Though green
And lush
With grass
And sage
Mimic clouds
Though green
And lush
With grass
And sage
I roll through
On two wheels
Climbing up
Flowing down
Cornering
And gliding
In flight
Amongst
The verdant
Clouds
Oh Canada!
Some moments
Are just so
Oh Canada!
Are just so
Oh Canada!
Like an oval
Cleared of snow
On the surface
Of a frozen lake
Peak 2 Peak
Fitzsimmons Creek
Cavorts and frolics
Over one thousand feet below
Cavorts and frolics
Over one thousand feet below
Betwixt and between
Whistler and Blackcomb
And miles of untracked snow
Life should be a calculated risk
On a perfect powder day
And the sun breaking through
On the untracked line
You’ve been eyeing for months
And the sun breaking through
On the untracked line
You’ve been eyeing for months
The last thing on your mind
Is an avalanche
But it shouldn’t be
