Quick write-planning a setting

today for quick write we are writing about a setting of our choice, this was only 5 minutes of work

i can feel the cold winter wind on my face. the sun is beaming down on me, i hear the crunchy soft snow under my skis and i swiftly glide down the basin. the peaceful quietness of the ski field surrounds me up high on the mountain i feel so free.  i can see the valley looming way bellow me. i  look onto the horizon and close my eyes all i hear is my could, deep breath.
