The
sun sneaks a look at the mountains across the horizon as they lay
peacefully in their sleep. Moments later, the beeping of an alarm clock
brings to an abrupt halt the stillness in the cabin. The enthusiastic
friends dress for what is sure to be a cold day, grab their bags, and
walk outside where they are greeted by a helicopter. These four have
been best friends since they learned to ski together about twenty years
ago and have taken many ski trips like this one. The helicopter reaches
the peak and the skiers jump out and click into their skis. The first
cliff is a small, 5 foot hop, followed by a 30 foot drop. That air time
is what they seek. That rush of being entirely free. The feeling from
being out in the wilderness, climbing in the desert, hiking in the
mountains, relaxing by the lake, enjoying everyday, being surrounded by
loved ones, working hard and playing harder. That is The Summit.
