“First black diamond of the trip,” I thought. I was in Utah on a mountain for a skiing trip. The sun shined down on the snowy mountain, the air was thin and cold.

This trip was different from the ones in the past, which usually meant going to San Antonio or taking the 8-hour-trip to see my grandparents. This time…
