Turning the Corner – Waves and Winter

September 16th, 2009 by graham

We’ve turned the corner. That crisp feel is in the air, the wet chill early in the morning and evening. Daytime 70s are diving into the mid-30s in the mountains at night, and the frost is getting heavier. Feeling winter on the way? The first magazine issues are out for the season, films are making the opening rounds in another month or so, it’s all just around the corner. Here’s a little fall feel from Brian Mohr to drive those dreams in the meantime…

Waves and Winter
by Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson

Our thoughts often go to the deepest, fluffiest powder days when we watch the tops of breaking waves get blown back to sea by a strong offshore breeze. Maybe the wind reminds us of Old Man Winter’s legendary howl and roar. Or perhaps surfing among these waves – floating in that fluid ocean as the spray of peeling waves rains on our heads – gives us the same feelings we have when gliding in a snowstorm down a powder-coated mountainside.

Ultimately, it is the simple beauty witnessed on both occasions that makes the connection for us. Be it the the wind-blown spray of breaking waves or the billowing clouds of snow behind the descending skier/rider, there is something undeniably surreal and powerful and spectacular going on here…
