Shyly peeking over the mountains, are the first rays of our sun,
into the Sky Spa room, greeted by a yoga class,
mindfully doing the first stretches of this morning,
Preparing us for what is yet to come.

Downstairs, getting sustenance for all the fun.
Oat milk coffee and the vegan scramble,
they are served by the most friendly of souls.
To our animal friends no harm is done.

Getting outside, the crisp, cool air touching my face.
Anticipation rising, as I'm riding up in the lift.
The first swings on the slope, followed by the first slip.
Better not risk too much, better slow down my pace.

Back up on the top, I take it full on.
Heart pumping fast, getting into my rhythm.
Trusting my board, legs keep working.
This is elating, as if I'm reborn.

Strength and excitement, confidence and fear.
All in my mind as I race over the snow.
Clouds deep below me and sky up above.
I trust in myself and I trust in my gear.

From the icy slopes to the hot sauna, heating me to the bone.
We share our stories over delicious food.
Looking forward to a night filled with restful sleep.
