Summary

It’s around this time of year that we tend to ask ourselves the big questions: Am I living the life I want to be living? Am I a good a person? And, of course, is this going to be an epic ski season, or a bust? This week, we present a story that miraculously addresses all of these questions. It comes to us from the good folks at the Dirtbag Diaries, and has outdoor industry veteran Dan Kostrzewski sharing a very personal tale about a skiing accident with his young daughter, and how it helped him gain a new perspective on the sport that has long been at the center of his personal and professional identity.

0:54.7	anytime you're about to go outside.
0:56.7	So you never get to use that one, either.
1:00.2	The point is, there comes a time
1:01.8	when the only way to be cozy yourself is to make sure the people
