Cast Away

摘要

Back in the day I often told ski bum buddies I'd gladly trade a whole day on the hill for one climb in a thermal. Most would shrug me off, expressing no interest, and few ever accepted my invitation to come and give it a try. One who did was Doug, who showed up with his left leg in a full cast, ankle to crotch. (No, not a skiing accident; Softball. It's true you don't have to be a good athlete to be a great skier, but Doug was neither.)
