Hey ladies! I’m in my third season of skiing. Woot! I am afraid of heights but have been working so hard on being ok with chairlifts and summit trails. I’ve made great progress but… Yesterday we took the summit chair to the top of my Ellen at sugarbush. I’ve been up there so many times. Beautiful blue bird day with views for miles. I immediately had the sensation that I would just fall off the edge of the mountain. I got panicky and breathless. I was almost paralyzed. All these folks were taking their Instagram worthy panoramic pics and I was just over there doing my breathing exercises trying to talk myself off the ledge. I can giggle about it now but curious if any of you ever have these moments? What are your tips for calming yourself. I’m thinking of trying to take some cbd before skiing to see if that just takes a tiny edge off of things. What else works for you? We are headed to Taos in a two weeks and I know it’s steep. And I want to embrace it and see the wonder in it rather than the fear!
