The frost is here.

I can see my breath.

I can feel my ears and hands getting colder after every day.

Snow is almost here,

And soon it will be time.



Time to make a stand.


For years the hill has injured people who dare sled down it

It just sits there waiting to claim its next victim.

But this year the beast will not claim a victim,

For this year I will ride down and slay the beast.

This will be a new age where the beast can no longer claim victims.

I will start this trend.

And it will not be broken.

EVER!
