Inspiration

Warning: Suna, you might want to break out one of those barf bags if you’re going to read this.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely crazy in-love with Scott -- which is a good thing since we’re hitched :). Not only is he my best friend, but he is my inspiration. Today, I want to talk about he inspires me in skiing. That might sound a bit trivial to some, but to me, it is very important - because I am passionate about the sports we do.

Anyone who has spent anytime with Scott on the slopes knows that he is an awesome skier. But for those of you that haven’t, let me try to describe the experience. He skis down chutes that are barely wide enough to fit a Mini – all with his 197cm skis – and makes it look easy. He’s always picking up new tricks in the terrain park – like jumping off boxes and sliding down the rails – and he makes it look like fun. He absorbs massive moguls as if they are cotton balls on the slope. He hikes up ridges and hardly breaks a sweat; meanwhile my heartrate is breaking 200. Oh yeah….and he’s super-fast. It truly is incredible to watch him.

But more than that, he doesn’t have attitude about it. He doesn’t get impatient with me. He’s just always smiling and having fun. On those wonderful PooFest days when we find untracked snow, he always offers me the best line when I know (and I know he knows) that I can’t do it justice – I simply don’t carve up the mountain the way he does. And that is truly inspiring. I love you, Hooch!
