Do something that scares you - you will be proud of yourself
Have a winning attitude
When you fall down 9 times, get up 10 times
Have a good leader - gives you confidence to try harder things
Visualize your path - just in front of you, that's all you need
Be offensive to the mountain - dont let it win
Balance
Keep your arms out and let your hips do the turning
Go around obstacles
Take your own time
Share the fun times
Take breaks
Rest when you are tired
Sleep well
Hydrate
A mountain of moguls are less scary, one bump at a time
Listen to the beauty of silence
Grunt to get that last bit of energy when exhausted
Laugh together
Laugh at mistakes
If you don't fall sometimes, you're not trying hard enough
Success feels awesome- remember that feeling
There's always more to learn
You're never too old to learn new things
Recalibrate fear
Go outside your comfort zone
Put your trust in good hands - especially at 124.7 km/hr
Know your limits
Dont quit
When you are stuck in a tree hole, think of a solution
Everyone has a story - not just you
take the last lift to the top
Set a goal - fresh waffles at Crystal Hut, 5000ft
Play till the sun goes down
Look back up the hill at what you've accomplished - its quite remarkable
The only way to the bottom is one turn after the next (except a medical sled)- thats the power of determination.
Self check your fatigue.
