There was a time when I used skiing as a way to escape my problems, to run away from things. Now, I use ski mountaineering as a way to work through difficult emotions and find healing. On a long day out, you can end up in a dark place. But when you come out, the light is much brighter. I go to ski now out of a place of deep love and joy. I show you this picture from the @patrouilledesglaciers_official because I want to show the truth. It’s not all smiling selfies. Sometimes there are tears under my sunglasses. I’m so grateful for I am able to do what I do.#bigmtndreams
