Highlands yesterday with my great friend Jonesy. What a day.
Jonesy is not backing down. He’s facing cancer head on, albeit with a dose of humility.
Yesterday we skied GoGo Gully, aka Y3. I got the sign last year but hadn’t skied it yet. The danger sign isn’t window dressing. GoGo Gully is the steepest line I’ve ever skied. Freaking steep. I was nervous starting out. But then I saw Jonesy looking up at me. He’s always given me a sense of calm in steep and gnarly terrain. I got nervous later down the line, but it helped knowing he wasn’t far ahead of me.
Watch him ski Eden in this video. They opened Eden last year, it’s super steep. The snow is deep — which makes it even more challenging. You can tell how steep it is by how far he drops when he makes a turn. Does this look like a guy who’s giving in, who’s afraid? Not to me it doesn’t. This is a guy who’s living, who’s looking at cancer and saying, “not today, hombre”.
Jonesy showed me how to ski with my hands. It’s a great hack, but skiing is wide of the mark in the big picture of life.
The hacks I’m getting from him now have more depth, they’re deeply meaningful — like how to be brave and strong. That when you have a weak hand, double down. I’m watching, I’m listening.

Jonesy says
Your post hurts me, you don’t know the first thing about me and you say I’m already dead. Must be see nice sit so high up and see so clearly. Thanks for the offer but I’d rather work with folks who have compassion for others. God bless.
MICHELE MULLINS says
No I sit on years of experience and 100 s of thousand of dollars for my education with the cancer ( machine) industry is just a money making proposition the proof if over whelming and so sorry you took it in a negative way I like being truthful with people when they are fighting for their lives but I wish you the best

Michele,
I know you mean well. But put the shoe on the other foot. I’m sure someone with cancer doesn’t like to face a word such as “kill”. Instead, I think they’d rather have positive energy. Now Jonesy writes “dead”. That hits me hard.
I told the world about Jonesy with his approval. His words and actions have given me strength. Yesterday he seemed super human. He wants other cancer patients or for that matter anyone dealing with adversity to gain strength from his journey.
I’ve purposely kept your information from Jonesy. Because, he has a plan.
Maybe take another look at what you wrote?
MICHELE MULLINS says
Sorry didn’t mean to be mean spirited but I have had cancer too and am looking a maybe an new diagnose with it …I have a lot of drs for friends and just speaking from experience with my daughter and me he doesn’t sound very open minded if he is offended with my truth he can take it or leave it just trying to get options out there …I mean what does it hurt to take a look at what I was saying and instead immediately gets defensive
paulie says
Well let’s just keep the vibe positive for both of you.
MICHELE MULLINS says
amen
