Powder
Skiing down a slope in two feet of fresh powder snow… Unless you live on the mountain, it rarely happens, but when it does, you must relax and start by giving thanks for being there, in that moment. When you are ready, you let your mind go and you give your body permission to feel the mountain. On a good day, when you reach the bottom of the slope you look up and you see the evidence of what the mountain has given you. Those are not your tracks, they are the tell-tale of what the mountain has graciously allowed you to experience this day.
If you give the Grammarly AI assistant the chance to rewrite the paragraph above, this is the result:
Skiing down a slope covered in two feet of fresh powder snow is a rare and exhilarating experience. In that moment, take a deep breath and give thanks for being there. Then, let your mind go and allow your body to feel the mountain. When you reach the bottom of the slope on a good day, look up and appreciate the evidence of what the mountain has given you. The tracks in the snow are not yours; they are the tell-tale sign of what the mountain has graciously allowed you to experience.
I like mine better, including the run-on sentence.
