Solitude, Skiing and the Wisdom of Julian Carr

"Whether you think you can or think you can't- you're right." - Julian Carr hucking it 
off some Solitude terrain. 


Julian, you're my hero for the day. Not only did you put up a photo which demonstrates the defiance of rational thinking, but you used it to symbolize the succes of taking those risks (as you are still here to tell the tale). 

Yes. Risk taking is, well... risky. But what would we gain if we didn't huck ourselves off some cliffs once in a while? We'd never progress, we'd never inspire, we'd never push ourselves past our current "limits." And we certainly wouldn't have this amazing photo from Julian. 

Thanks for thinking you can, Julian.

    I was crazy inspired by this too. Julian, Jen, and a few other of our skier athletes who call Utah home really speak to me, they LOVE it here and share pictures of beauty and the breadth of their experience. Must follow for every Utahn, skier or not!

    I'm currently falling off that cliff and it's been the most exhilarating free fall.

    P.s. Thanks again for the drawing, brought my girlfriend to tears.
