Vail, Colorado Daily Photo - Snow Cats and Mt. of the Holy Cross -

The relationship between man and nature is the key factor in the appeal of the wonderful sport of skiing. While we often consciously ignore this innate realationship when stepping into our bindings, sliding down the ramp at the top of the lift, or carving a turn through the white stuff, nature is always there. We must protect this man/nature relationship through good stewardship. To me, this photo brings home the importance of respectng and relating to nature in all we do. Kudos to Senators Mark Udall and Gerald Polus for their support of Wilderness Plans for Colorado.
