Hiking for Turns

Anything worth a damn is worth working for. Whether it be scouring the swap for that part that completes your vision, cutting and re-welding a grille for the 10th time in pursuit of perfection, or driving hundreds of miles in a hot, old car with your ears ringing from the exhaust to meet up with your friends at a show, it's all about the journey and the satisfaction when the hard work pays off. This is a way of thinking and a lifestyle that spills over into other genres. And this is why so many hot-rodders and custom builders share other passions like music, art, skateboarding, and other creative outles.

Yesterday we hiked out of bounds to a small peak at the ski resort where my buddy works. We weren't hucking airs or anything wild, just looking for a few extra turns in the fresh snow. It was mid afternoon, but there were no tracks...no signs of anyone else willing to work for it...no signs of sacrifice other than ours. I managed to stop for a second and take shot of our spoils.
