GETTING BACK TO THE SLED, with the runaway plastic bag zipped safely into a parka pocket, wasn’t so easy, despite the relatively short distance I’d traveled in my stumbling, fumbling sprint. Without skis on, my legs sank into the snow up to my knees at times, forcing me to flail around with my arms, pulling myself up and out of the deep powder. I felt my heart pounding in my chest, partly from the fear of twisting my ankle or knee. In running after the bag, I’d been focused on catching it; now I just wanted to get back in one piece.
Finding your way home. The idea kept invading my thoughts as I remembered the journey that Jenna and I had begun on that camping trip up through California and Oregon. The whole rest of my life, it suddenly felt to me—the path leading to this moment on the ice—was a consequence of those days and nights, and I fell even deeper into the memory as I pushed south.
