Ski lift creativity

As much as I love to Snowboard with a group, I take great pleasure in days when i just go ride myself.  I don’t mind meeting and chatting to strangers on the lift at times but just allowed to head up the hill trapped, no ability to go anywhere else other than to jump off.  It forces someone like myself who has a hard time slowing down, to do just that . . . . . . slow down.  I find myself reflecting on how beautiful our surroundings are and how lucky we are to be able to do things like it.  Recently its been a great place for creative thought.
