Hi Athoi. My wife is the hiker in the family. I climb hills for exercise, but I've never done the Grouse Grind. I've skied on the mountain, though.

OMG skiing mountain must feel amazing! Someday, hopefully!
. . . amazing
My first time skiing was in the night.
Straight down the mountain I went. Until I hit a bump. A mogul.
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
Ooooooooo I could hear from the ski lift above as I lay face down in the snow.
Minus one ski, that had made its way to the bottom of the hill.
I walked the rest of the way down, each step knee deep in snow.
Young and bruised and ready to go down again. ๐๐ฟโท๏ธ
Such great moments! "Young and bruised and ready to go down again!" What a spirit! ๐๐๐งก
. . . the immortal days of youth
Young, and dumb.
The next time I had a better idea that you don't go straight down. Moving side side is a slower, better way.
I learned by watching some kids. Thought if they could do it, so could I.
I've always been a jump in first ask questions later kind of guy. But with age, with bumps and bruises, am slightly more cautious.
