You imagine yourself as a dolphin, or a hawk gliding over the snow, first the hands, then the feet tilting in unison into the plane of the hill. The poles swing lightly, the boots are comfortable and you feel balanced as you roll the skis onto edge. You are skiing in harmony... with your equipment ,within yourself, with the mountain, and in your animal spirit. An air of detachment has surrounded you, and your athleticism is being directed from the subconscious.
