Lesson in life

Plastic disc in tow, this little guy makes his way back up the hill for another run. I was impressed with this boy, who can’t have more than four or five winters under his belt. He made run after run on the snowy street, despite the challenge of the hike back to his “go spot.” A real trooper.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
