Mozart and Mill D North

We traveled north again this weekend for some skiing and culture. Creed and myself toured into Mill D North on Saturday morning and found great conditions on the north faces and a couple of new avalanches.

Saturday night we tried a new restaurant in SLC, the Himalayan Kitchen, (very good) and then we went to the symphony (Mozart and Bruckner). I know I am not the most sophisticated guy around but I actually really enjoy classical music and really like seeing it live. Every time we go to the symphony everybody always says "You are so nice to take Alina to the symphony" as if it was something I had to endure. I just want to make it clear that I actually enjoy it.

Wild Quotes

"When I hear the stock market has fallen, I say, "Long live gravity! Long live stupidity, error and greed in the palaces of fantasy capitalism!" I think an economy should be based on thrift, on taking care of things, not on theft, usury, seduction, waste, and ruin. My purpose is a language that can make us whole, Though mortal, ignorant, and small. The world is whole beyond human knowing."

-Wendell Berry, agrarian philosopher

"Where can one find a healthier and purer delight than when on a brilliant winter day one binds one's ski to ones feet and takes one's way out into the forest?... Civilization is, as it were, washed clean from the mind and left far behind with the city atmosphere and city life; one's whole being is, so to say, wrapped in one's ski and surrounding nature"

Fridtjof Nansen, Norwewgian adventurer and Ski Hero, first to cross Greenland on skis.

"Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?"

Aldo Leopold

"And they did preserve the land south as a wilderness, to get game.."

Book of Mormon, Ether 10:21

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The wind will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
-- John Muir
