There seems to be a moment
when everything stands still.
Your heart begins to race,
as you look down the hill.
With the ski poles by your side
as you try to loose your fear.
Making one more gut check
and hope it's not to severe.
With the new snow blowing
as the wind goes whistling by.
You hope to make it down
as you turn to say goodbye
Your adrenalin starts to pump
as you push off down the hill.
And all of your emotions build
into this heightened thrill.
Then as you reach the bottom
and your heart rate settles down.
Then you get this big smile
as you slowly turn around.
