Snowboarding...

Snowboarding is poetry. The previous statement is a metaphor. The previous statement is not... Snowboarding is like poetry: Done properly it is fluid, creative, expressive. It can be aggressive or peaceful. Watching someone from a heli-drop carve up untouched back-country snow inspires thoughts of Chinese caligraphy; Being awed by a daredevil doing incredible tricks in a terrain park is like visiting the circus. Snowboarding is a confluence of extremes: Somewhere between Circus and Caligraphy we find Snowboarding!

And this has been very poetically written, my dear! I know how much you want to snowboard. Maybe next year will be a longer, better season.
