Photo Friday- “Going For It”

Travel Women in Skiing

Photo Friday is a quick blog capturing skiers on the slopes. It’s a journal of present and past photographs captured from resorts across North America. In this short article, “Going For It” is truly a feeling of letting go and seeing what happens.

Situation

Recently met a fellow skier online while chatting on Instagram. “Alexandra Messinis” skiing near Chatter Creek Mountain Lodges in BC, Canada. I just love seeing skiers “Going For It”. We sometimes get caught up in technique and skiing to “look” a certain way.

It’s more fun to have good skiing fundamentals and being able to adapt to any terrain or situation. Letting it Rip and going for it is evident by the last photo and the huge smile on the face of Alexandra… AWESOME !
