From a young age,I've had a rea11y deep conneclion with being outside. I've been skiing
Since l was eight or nine years old. I' ve been on expeditions(探险)in many piaoeslike China, Pakistan and so on. Bul il was in my home country, the USA, that I came c1osest to death.
It was Apri1 1,2011. 1 was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier,both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was thelast person to ski. They were watching mefrom a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry 1oudly l tumed around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩). The kind of avalanche thalt destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens ofthousands oftons of snow were comirlg straighl downlhe mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up,out of the snowpack. I1ookedaround,and for a few seconds I actua11y stopped being terrified. I had a moment topause and to Iook at the power ofthe avalanche.
I 1ooked down into the bottom of the va11ey(峡谷). I could see trees thal were 30m ta11,,because I was so far away, they 1ooked tiny to me.“0K, I' m going a11 the way lo lhe bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mounlain another 450m I thought the force of the Snow would destroy me
, it waspowerful. Bul in the end, I felt the avalanche s1ow down and I just popped (迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片)
Across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn' l believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky
Has the experience changed me? Do I think aboutl1fe differently? I don't know, maybe.But
I don’t know that its important to live your life with meaning. Life is agift, so use it wlsely.
