The Mountain Is Where I’m From
by Micah Morris, Fernie
I’m from endless hours of driving in the crammed ski team van
Sleeping in hotel rooms with 5 other people
And experiencing every ski hill on the map
From luging 4 pairs of skis, a boot bag, and my 500 other pieces of equipment
I’m from the wax on my skies, and the garages where I tune them
From -20 temperatures, powder days, rainy days, and blue bird days
Wins, losses, and from crashes
Disappointment and excitement
From speed, and thrill
And from freezing our butts off as we wait for our race to start
I’m from “hurry up and wait”
Late nights and horribly early mornings
From whole team snow soccer games, tag, hide and seek, ping pong, and glow in the dark Frisbee
I’m from running to the table with crazy hungry kids
Endless laughter and the giggles
By the end of it all when your eyes droop and your shoulders sag and you just cant stand up straight, you smile and remember all those good times
That
Is where I’m from
