Keep the person who questions your limit 100x over. The one who consistently pushes you past your ever growing comfort zone, in every single aspect of life. The one who doesn’t let you quit- but embraces your nervousness and fear with a comforting, warm hug of positivity. Reassuring you to take deeeep breaths, that we’re in no rush, and that you’re together throughout it all. The one who makes you hit that breaking point- fear choking you up, as though it’ll hold you prisoner forever. Until that person, that light, banishes those silly thoughts- changes the initial experience of fear, into growth. Into freedom. Into the most respectable form of liberation. — Today, Seth pushed me far beyond my breaking point, and it’s one of the most absolute reasons why I’m in love with him. As our 3 days of skiing and riding took us by the hand, launching us full force through the ringer mentally, emotionally, and most of all physically, we bloomed. Each day we made progress; the first day consisting of nonstop tram rides up ‘Big Red’ and learning what we could of the immense mountain range, the second day uniting us with some amazing new friends/employees of Jackson to show us the best pow refills, and the third and final day testing our limits as we conquered the steepest terrain we’ve both encountered in Casper Bowl, down Greysbull, an INSANE couloir. — As we made our way down Casper Bowl, snow endlessly hitting us nipple deep, we arrived to one of my biggest fears; the heights of that ‘at the moment’ traumatizing Couloir. I won’t even fib, I started to cry out of fear! I’d never imagined myself being at the top of such a steep gully, as my mind instantly started to relayed the many videos I’ve seen of others tomahawking down such steep terrain. One small mistake, and that could’ve been all of my confidence down the drain. Yet, to my luck, my beautiful man was standing there smiling ear to ear. Simply basking in the steepness, the thrill that would miraculously charge his ability through the roof. That is something I could never take away from him- so, I mustered up any and all courage I could find deep within, and told him to go and enjoy himself. He lead me to a safe point down the intense run, and I couldn’t help but want to enjoy watching him fulfill his dreams and elevate his abilities. And that single moment, was the most beautiful action and smile I’d ever seen. — Try not allowing fear to stop you from making yourself better at what you love, even if it takes a couple of deep breaths and some encouragement from your partner. — Thank you Jackson Hole for making me want to move to Wyoming in a few years time. For now, I’m itching to dive right back into that damn couloir to prove who’s a badass. Until next time, the #skication has been killer and surreal dream come true
