On SKI LIFT PHOTOGRAPHS:

10:00 a.m. The meadow at the base of Canon Mountain a jumble of toys. Guns shoot snow on the north slope, arc an abbreviated fall. Ascent and descent cancel out. Contemplate the suggestion of a spiral, the march and kick of rounded angle; hair twines in the spokes. This is how it holds together. By afternoon choppers will lift towers to the summit. Every year, they try to get more people up the mountain sooner.
