Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)
You have entered a steep learning curve this season. Après-ski delights, or at least desires, will arrive with the first big dump. This hot pursuit will require some sharp turns. Confidence in your skills will be tested both on and off the slopes. Hot tub for two.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 21)
A short while ago an ascent to high peaks is now all down and feels knee deep. The magic in this ride will leave you transformed; already your flow is set for reform. Running a line worthy of your craft does not come with plan, script or draft. Fake it until you make it if you must.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 21)
Gaining full access to the misty heights is on your mind. What is it really like up there? Curiosity can kill, but when satisfied it can cure. The key now is to commit. Already you are seeing the world as with new eyes. Dreams are raising your gaze to silver cloud skies.
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
A powerful pull is pushing you onward. You yearn to learn and to explore where you have not been before. Which road should you take, which slope should you try? It’s early in the game and they seem all the same. Yet early in 2016 the obvious pull will be powderful.
Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23)
The slopes you want to challenge this year will require increase of courage and decrease of fear. The risk curve will rise and careful calculation will show you are wise. Patient perseverance is also implied and especially pertains to mountains not yet tried.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
You are working to be grounded, to overcome fears, your sights are set to get big air this year. Step by step and inch by inch keep showing up and it will be a cinch. Go small at first then go bigger and bigger; focus on your launch and learn to pull the trigger.
Libra (Sep 22-Oct 22)
Religious or not, there are moments when everyone prays. Call it talking to yourself or activating your inner dream weaver. Cancel that El Niño and let it snow, let it snow. You have a big date with destiny and words like “weather permitting” just won’t do.
Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21)
If you want to play, you have to pay. But you may be feeling the blues regarding your dues. Sourcing the people who can help you out is what your thoughts are all about. Although you can join with friends for fun, regarding each turn, only you can get it done.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 -Dec 21)
You are extra serious about your game plan now. Aligning with the cosmic weather patterns requires that you upgrade your gear. Fresh and new are important themes now and it’s not just the snow. Shop early to activate a breakthrough pace and convince the world you can win this race.
Capricorn (Dec 21 -Jan 19)
Casting your gaze to the lofty skies where snow-capped peaks ruggedly rise; reminders of mountains to climb before your demise. Despite the semblance somehow nothing is the same. Gone are old feelings and just names now remain. Let it go like last year’s snow; clear the way and seize the day.
Aquarius (Jan 19 -Feb 19)
Turn for turn life rewards with returns. Dometimes it’s sweet while at others we feel burned. Yet when we turn the burn to each excellent turn the results are right and our tracks are tight. So be open to receive all the good you have earned and remember the rewards are turn for turn.
Pisces (Feb 19 -Mar 20)
Sometimes your line will take more spine especially when you aim is to bore the core. Determination is not always quite enough, you gotta be disciplined and have the right stuff. This is the time to build muscle and good habits and bound down the trail like a seasoned snow rabbit.
