Dancing with the Mountain - December 25, 2015

I skied a lot as a young person but not much in the last few decades. So on skis again, I could hear the voices of long ago instructors in my ears as I experienced what they were talking about - "uphill ski completely loose", "lift on the turn", "sit down", "knees glued together", "knees soft", "shoulders stay facing downhill" ... wait, wait, that's just like tango, torso aligned with partner while lower body makes its moves. Now I get it, I'm dancing with the mountain! Only took me about 45 years to understand.
