  12. How do we lead with peace? 

    I believe a truly important part about life passion is to share it but life isn't always positive. And to be real, not everything in life is easy, full of passion, pain free or understandable. I recently visited my backcountry ski mentor. He not only showed me how to navigate avalanche ski terrain around Mt Baker & the Shuksan Arm but how to really live a fulfilling, adventurous life. Though our ages, circumstances and life experiences have been greatly different, our thirst for understanding mountains is equally shared. He has been one of the most influential people in my life, yet it had been a few years since we had last seen each other.  

    I knew my mentor had been struggling with some health issues, and after seeing him again he excitedly announced he is the healthiest he's been in 5, maybe 10 years! I had to ask what helped? He quickly replied "I got my inflammation down and in that time learned to meditate." I shared I had been feeling down recently and that it wasn't just one thing but a series of internal/external circumstances and all around life just hasn't been feeling alright. He told me about reading Deepak Chopra's book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind." He learned about the Vagus Nerve and how to tame his looping negative thoughts by meditating deep within his mind/body/soul to overcome debilitating pain, suffering, while facing a struggle to live. He admitted his Drs. told he was dying but he refused to give up. 

    Reflecting on recent world events, life currently is not right. And as our individual life challenges become presently felt, these external stresses can be compounded; as I myself, have noticed. What has helped my mentor, has helped me, and I share that to help you. Check out some of Deepak Chopra's books. Support the change you hope to see.

    "If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace. There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." Mahatma Gandhi

    "Success comes when people act together; failure tends to happen alone." Deepak Chopra

  17. Got out into the alpine today, explored a new zone on Snoqualmie Pass I had never been. The mountain access starts at a low elevation, we approached from 2500ft/762m topping out around 4500ft/1372m. My partner was feeling confident riding down a line we frankly didn't belong, I was feeling a little weak in the confidence & left knee. We descended the fall line in the 3rd picture shown here. Warm temps opened the snowpack, making it soft, mushy, hard to ride and easy to sink in deep. We eventually acknowledged we were in over our heads, pulled the plug to climb out through steep trees. Attempting to get in position to transfer from ride mode to climb mode on the splitboard... my step caved in, I sunk up to my chest in a sinkhole between a downed tree. Stress kicked in, not just from the present moment but these present times, wtf is going on world! Negative thoughts looped my mind. Thoughts of an injury causing a rescue did not settle well, nobody would come get us where we were. I felt my mortality more ever clear. My rule in the mountains is to keep it cool, you need a clear head to get you through. Mountains are my place to learn, reflect on life and feel alive.

    Our handy gps maps & determined legs carried us to safety. All is well. Today fully kicked my ass. Good reminder when to listen to your own instincts. The older I get the more you realize prevention is truly key. I can make solid decisions, speak up when I need to but will follow people I trust to places we sometimes should avoid. Patience carefully got us through. The Cascade mountains around Snoqualmie Pass in Washington are no joke to mess with. Some of the spookier mountains Ive explored, a lot of water drains from the steep mountain peaks around and the low elevations, warm temps & deep snowpacks keep the conditions always changing. Live to learn. Mistakes will happen but we are stronger together.
