Another great book that I read was about one of my heroes. The book is called “Wine, Women, Warren and skis” and I got to read it when I wrote my essay. The book is about a man named Warren Miller and his life. As soon as Miller left the Navy he started going out west to ski. While living in a van in the parking lots of ski resorts, Miller started a new fad called Free Skiing. Basically what Free Skiing is, is skiing for your own reasons and to get in touch with your soul and the mountain.
Miller found his calling in life making documentaries of Free Skiiers and traveling the world looking for that new landscape that’s never been skied before. His main focus is on how life is lived when you Free Ski. Although he does mention his likening for competitive skiing he also talks about how in Free Skiing, competition does not matter.
I hope to someday be like Warren Miller and spend my time doing the thing I love most and getting other people to see your perspective on why it is such a great thing. I love to go Free Skiing but unfortunately Free Skiing isn’t really free. It costs a lot of money to go to the big mountains and get lift tickets.
