I bolted out of the car
excited for the journey ahead.
I quickened my pace
scanned the icy hill,
let's just hope for the best

As I strided up the hill,
skiis ready,
equipment locked
I focused.
here goes nothing

I took one last look before I went up.
I braved myself at the top,
My heart was pounding.
It was time to go.
now or never

It felt like milliseconds,
as I eventually escalated down.
No worries.
Carefree.
Until I had to stop.

I tried to rotate to finish,
but I couldn’t.
My skis taking over me,
carried me down the hill
with a big
WHOOP!

The skis demolished me
making me flip over.
Bloody nose oncoming,
but then I lifted myself back up,
looked around and thought,
Let’s try that again.
