these are the most amazing moments of my life. I know I say this all the time. but I can’t help it. when did I ever get blessed with the gift of making the most amazing life for myself. there aren’t enough words to tell the world how much I am in love. sometimes I am so in love, I just don’t know exactly what I am in love with.

today marks the ending of the most amazing ski season I have had. to date. EVER. I know a lot of people at big sky who say the same thing. if you just got up there, you were rewarded, all season. and I had all the energy around me to stoke my fire. there have been so many tram islands, lost lake laps, walk on trams and north summits that I lost count in January. I have had my heart elevated more times than I can count this season. I have exhaled deeply in the mountain air. every day.

my heart is filled. I am content. I have had more face shots than my fair share.

I have been also chased by more men than my fair share. but we’re not going to talk about that. except. all I have to say, is that when your life and heart is filled to the brim every day by the people who surround you and you feel deeply loved every day.. you don’t need a man to validate you. I get my yaya’s from my multiple lovers and a fantastic network of friends. my heart is filled.

I have no words to describe my season. but I want to write it all down. I want to remember the parties of Powder week. the random hot tub poaches. the epic powder laps down dakota or to the lake. new years spent in missoula and a cabin at lolo hot springs. my fan mountain. so many first trams. so many. or when Kenny, Brittnea and Dan came down for Cooke and we kept the party going. and slumbered at the Shore’s for a night and skied pow at big sky. or me and Dani’s excellent epic adventure to the base of the Ycouloir with the most insane avalanche of our lives! our epic dance party of Big Sky chicks only at Jackson hot springs. when Betsy and I got drunk together, 24 hours with Betsy. love her bunny heart. all our Poop Shoots on thursday night. chuganese.or the time I heard I had nominations for duchess/queen. every time patrol pointed at me in the penalty box and said “Tiia, you can go”  when I ripped turns in gale force winds with Jason Racine and Orloff recognized my endless mile in the blizzard we were standing in. there are about a million moments from this winter when I felt epic.

my life is becoming more filled with memories than I can account for them or write them down.

I want to kiss life. and make out with it. I have no time, room or patience for a relationship at this point. I am a free agent, and fucking good at having fun!

here’s something I do know for a fact.

I am surrounded by people who love me. my heart is filled and over flowing. I am blessed by the community of people who surround me. the network that has my back. everyday. there’s something about knowing you’ve earned people’s love that is the most valuable thing in the world. this is my tribe.
