Skiing at Toggenburg as a kid prepared me for many things: rain, dirt, rocks, ice, and ice. Luckily, I’ve since moved on.

Back in New York, at Toggenburg Ski Center, there is/was a trail called “oh my goat” (because Toggenburg is a type of goat) and it was/is the hardest trail on the ‘mountain’, not because of technicalities or terrain, but hard because of ice. It was steep and icy. That’s it.

While I am still prepared for ice, I am still not prepared for the real thing… in this case, a goat! But here it is.
