走過的路，路上的景，同行的人
你認識落基山裏的銅山滑雪場嗎？ 我認識它有二十多年了，是因為滑雪才熟悉上了它，我們每年冬天都會來這裏至少四次。
落基山裏有許多比它更好的滑雪場，唯獨我們和它成為了朋友，為什麽？因為它曾經是非常經濟的運動，它又在70號高速公路的邊上，而它的雪道也已經足夠滿足我們的好奇心。
也許這也印證了那句俗語，你是什麽人，就會有什麽樣的遇見，我挺認同這樣的說法。
我在銅山看到我們不離不棄的20多年，也曾經經曆掙紮是否要放棄它的那些時刻。很高興我們今天都從銅山上畢業了。
當我們二十年前在銅山上開始滑雪的時候，沒有任何的目標，隻要每年都能滑幾次就可以了，結果就這麽堅持了下來。
從最簡單的綠道開始，感覺已經很不錯了。有一年綠道的纜車不開，我們被迫上了藍道，發現也不錯。在藍道又滑了好幾年了,前年被磊說服上了黑道，我說這是我最難可以嚐試的事情。
今天又被磊說服，上了銅山的Tucker山峰，嚐試了銅山最難雪道，是extreme兩個diamond的。好像也還不錯。
到此為止我們終於完成了銅山滑雪地所有難度的雪道，可以告訴自己我終於從銅山畢業了，雖然我從沒有設過這個目標。
銅山的雪道分為：綠道，藍道，黑道，一個鑽石的黑道，兩個鑽石的黑道，extreme 兩個鑽石的黑道。我們在二十多年之後，從這些雪道上畢業了。
前麵說過我們今天終於從銅山滑雪地畢業了。經過二十多年不斷的磨練，從簡單的綠道，走上藍道，再加上黑道，我以為這就是我的最高境界了。
今天早上在路上，我一直在說我還沒有準備好，去嚐試更高的選擇。好像每一次都是這樣，從來都沒有ready 的時候。
銅山今天是晴天，但山頂有強風，刮起的雪渣打在臉上，就像無數的小針刺來。我是真的不想冒險去最險的地方。
在我們坐上Three Bears 纜車去Tucker 山峰的時候，我同意了磊的提議，去嚐試其中之一的Extreme two diamonds 的黑道。
又陡又不平的山道，在我們走到它的路上的時候，突然就沒有了恐懼感了。有許多的年輕人快速從我們身邊滑過，讓我覺得有些的放鬆了，很快就下到了山底。 接著就滑了第二條險道，已經不再膽怯了。
在結束一天的滑雪，往山下滑的路上，不再有那些不願意嚐試的勇氣了。
這項運動無論如何也是有危險的。在半道上遇見一位年輕人折斷了腿，我試圖幫他找回滑雪工具的時候，其他人也過來幫他，有人下去找救護人員。 我這時也收起了冒險的念頭，走在回家的路上。
磊說他已經觀察過許多次，他知道我們是可以嚐試，隻是我一直都沒有勇氣。
有的時候，一句真心的鼓勵，勝過千言萬語的謊言，它會讓你成長，讓你走的很遠。即便是站在風口之上，你也不會迷失。
2023年2月5號星期天，元宵節快樂。
[Finally graduated on Copper Mountain]
Do you know Copper Mountain Ski Resort in the Rocky Mountains? I have known it for more than 20 years, and I am familiar with it because of skiing. We come here at least four times every winter.
There are many better ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, but we have become friends with it, why? Because it used to be a very economical sport, it is on the side of Highway 70, and its snow trails are enough to satisfy our curiosity.
Maybe this also confirms the saying, what kind of person you are, what kind of encounter you will have, I quite agree with this statement.
I have seen us stick together for more than 20 years in Copper Mountain, and I have also experienced those moments of struggling whether to give up it. So glad we all graduated from Copper Mountain today.
When we started skiing on Copper Mountain 20 years ago, we didn't have any goals, as long as we could ski a few times a year, and we persisted.
Starting from the simplest greenway, it feels pretty good. One year, the left on the greenway was closed, so we were forced to go to the blueway, and found that it was not bad. After skating in blue way for several years, I was persuaded by Lei to explore the black way the year before last. I said this was the hardest thing I could try.
Today I was persuaded by Lei again to go up the Tucker Peak of Copper Mountain and try the most difficult snow trail of Copper Mountain, which is the extreme two diamonds. Seems to be pretty good too.
So far we have finally completed all the difficulties of the Copper Mountain Ski Resort, and can tell myself that I have finally graduated from Copper Mountain, although I never set this goal.
The ski trails in Copper Mountain are divided into: green trail, blue trail, black trail, one diamond black trail, two diamond black trails, extreme two diamond black trails. We graduated from these trails after more than 20 years.
As I said before, we finally graduated from Copper Mountain Ski Resort today. After more than 20 years of continuous training, from the simple green way to the blue way, plus the black way, I think this is my highest state.
On the road this morning, I kept saying I wasn't ready, to try the higher options. It seems to be like this every time, there is never a ready time.
Copper Mountain is sunny today, but there is a strong wind on the top of the mountain, and the blown snow slag hits the face like countless small needles. I really don't want to risk going to the most dangerous places.
When we took the Three Bears cable car to Tucker Mountain, I agreed to Lei's proposal to try one of the Extreme two diamonds black trail.
The steep and uneven mountain road, when we walked on its way, suddenly there was no sense of fear. There were many young people gliding past us quickly, which made me feel a little relaxed, and I quickly went down to the bottom of the mountain. Then I tried the second dangerous road, and I was no longer timid.
At the end of the day's skiing, on the way down the mountain, I no longer have the courage not to try.
The sport is dangerous anyway. I met a young man on the way with a broken leg. While I was trying to help him find his ski equipment, other people came to help him too. and some went down to find the ambulance personnel. At this time, I also put away my adventurous thoughts and walked on the way home.
Lei said that he has observed many times, he knows we can try, but I have never had the courage.
Sometimes, a sincere encouragement is better than a thousand words of lies, it will make you grow and let you go far. Even if you stand on the wind, you will not get lost.
Happy Lantern Festival on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
