Our lives are fractions of seconds in a timescale we will never fully comprehend. Maybe the true gift of winter is the reminder of our insignificance. We are each here for a short time, leaving behind ephemeral signatures in the snow. Climate change can be seen not as a fight, but an opportunity to reflect on the legacy that we leave, and what it means to live a good life. The changes are coming, and are largely outside of our individual control, but that doesn’t give us a hall pass to neglect our agency. The collective awareness and energy of the snowboarding community can help alter the course we’re on. Together, we are a living logbook that documents both the subtle and drastic shifts occurring in our climate time. In a world that’s still figuring out how to admit that climate change is even real, the stories we tell become more and more valuable. The spring melt erases the evidence of our powder-turns, but our impact will be felt in the mountains long after we’re gone."
