Song: Rusting Lifts and Old Wood Shacks
Переглядів 442 місяці тому
"Rusting Lifts and Old Wood Shacks" is a nostalgic, bittersweet song that captures the fading memories of once-beloved ski areas now lost to time. With wistful lyrics and a haunting melody, the song takes listeners on a journey through foggy mornings and empty trails, where rusting lifts stand as quiet reminders of past winters. It speaks to the ache of seeing a favorite ski area closed, its sn...

First Snow

Stunning footage set to an evocative poem about the first snowfall of the season. Whispers of winter dance through the air, A blanket of white, soft as a prayer. The world wraps in silence, each breath feels light, Under the hush, everything’s bathed in white. Oh, the first snowfall, a magical sight, Twinkling like stars in the soft, gentle light. I wander through powder, my heart skips a beat,...

    72 year old boarder. I live 20 minutes from the Mount Shasta park, so I go up for an 8 run workout mid week. I arrive at noon when there's a parking spot below the first lift that an early bird has vacated. Plus they only charge $199 for a season pass at my age. Always so beautiful up there, and lots of people having fun.

    One of my favorite places. Simple but feels classic. And it holds a special place in my heart since I tried my first black there. Interestingly, when it gets busy, it's almost entirely skiers - very few snowboarders. Often lots of racers on the face too. Word of warning though for busy days. Not many tables inside the lodge, so get to lunch early if you want a chance to sit down inside.
