I have been talking a lot about my old coaches lately. Quite
frankly, I grew up around a lot of really freaking cool and inspiring
people. None more so than my telemark coach and good friend, Ken. Ken has the
hunting knack. Often we will be going along and he’ll wisper, "Do you see them?" Um, no. Well we don’t even need to be hiking to do that. He held a party at his
house, so we came, exhaustion and all. On the way down from the car, I could
have sworn I heard a bugle but I shook it off as a hallucination. The food and
company were great, but right in the middle, I see Ken and a group of guys
gathered facing the hill near my car. "You see them?" Ken was
saying. For the next half hour we all stared at the elk heard, which were calling in
full force. Finally threats of a rainstorm and a beautiful
Colorado light show pulled us back onto the porch, but not before I took one
last look.
