Faceshots.
Faceshots are the reason why we ski and ride. Thoughts of faceshots keep us awake the night before a big powder day.
Faceshots are we wait tables, bartend, ski instruct, lift operate, drive groomers, pour coffees, avoid the real world. Faceshots are why we are here.
A lot is given up for the pleasures of faceshots: money, girls, security, sanity.
Faceshots feel like they’re becoming ever more elusive. We have to wait longer, travel further, dig deeper, climb higher.
No matter, we’re willing to do what we have to.
Faceshots are why we are here.
