Nine Dog Chairlift

The story: "I find no metaphor more appropriate than our patrol dogs when it comes to defining why we live in the mountains. It doesn't matter how challenging our lives might be, as long as we can get outside and have fun with our friends. Living in the moment is what our dogs do so well, so naturally.
From a dog's perspective, sunrise at the top of Summit Chair at Alpine Meadows is divine. Why not? Being out with eight of your best friends, sharing a perfect perch, what else can you ask for? It is these "magic moments" that stand time and make me remember how lucky we are."
