The icy cold snow brushed against the bottom of my board. My hand‚ gloveless‚ shivering in the 23 degrees outside. I lean on my heels and turn around the towering tree standing in my way. I see it.

At the time I didn’t really understand why she was so excited; I mean I had seen it on TV and it didn’t look that exciting to me.
