fixed-grip thoughts

i've wondered over my lifetime how much time i've spent on chairlifts and t-bars. back in the day when they were fixed-grip it'd take a lot longer to get to the top. i remember skiing Tremblant where a ride up could take 25 mins and of course it was minus 30 out. lots of time to reflect on all these rides. am i a different person because of the time i spent reflecting on the chair? who knows. enjoy this ride, it's entertaining...
