]]> Comment on A Proclamation from the B.C. Government by Jill Unger http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/02/a-proclamation-from-the-b-c-government/comment-page-1/#comment-1568 Jill Unger Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:29:42 +0000 http://raiseyourhand.com/blog/?p=467#comment-1568 Hey Josh! Just watched your trailer for your Award Winning Movie at the BFF!! So awesome. Think back to the day after it 'all' happened. Is that what you could have possibly imagined?! (if the answer is yes... then I guess we all know what faith does - it follows our destiny) Congrats, admiration and huge embellishments on your spirit, your force and where you sit today. I read about your experience in Kananaskis and your appreciation of being on the slopes in the silence and recognizing the beauty in all that. I, as a past mountain girl use to love sitting up Grouse Mtn at 1 in the morning in the silence with thousands of people somewhere far below. In the silence, in the snow and nothing else but the sky. lovely Last year I was able to take my first ride on a sit-ski at the program offered at Panorama Mtn (Invermere,BC) Home of another famous skier - Ian McIntosh - in a small community - we get to know everybody. Anywho. I really enjoyed reading your blog. Don't stop writing. Appreciating you are hugely busy I am sure. I wanted to ask you if you have any tips or advice about "wanting to be in the para olympics." The first thing I asked after my first three runs down from the chairlift after 15 years off skis was am I too old?! sure would love it if you could visit our hill and I could do a few turns with you. All the best You are an inspiration! Jill in BC This is sooo awesome. Hey Josh!
