This photo is from when I skied Pisco, a 18,871 foot peak in the Cordillera Blanca range in Peru. On the ascent, the wind caused temperatures to be much colder than I expected. As I climbed, I felt myself slipping into a near hypothermic state. I was angry, I was clumsy, I even cried a little under my sunglasses. But I persisted and finally warmed up in the sun to enjoy the beautiful ski descent. Overcoming obstacles like this is what @disneystudios new movie #thefinesthours is all about. Check out the trailer online and the link below to a contest they are doing on Tumblr that celebrates brave moments like this. Winner gets a trip to the Disney resort in Hawaii. thefinesthours.tumblr.com #partner
