冬中余雪在
文/王小心 那天和同事出去吃饭,一个刚从毛里求斯度假回来的哥们说,他在日本上空看到了富士山,很美丽。我说,远在天边,近在眼前。瑞尼尔山与富士山同一形状,海拔更高,都经过雪与火的洗礼。2012年九月,从西雅图回芝加哥的飞机上,机长突然广播:“大家伙儿可以从窗口往下看,我们现在正飞过瑞尼尔山的上空。”那是什么样的感觉呢?飘渺的云层下,仿佛黑白照片的瑞尼尔山口正对着我,在无法企及的、荒凉的大地上,矗立着白雪与灰烬覆盖的火山。在那一刻,我不是地球上的乘客,而是空降到月球上的旅客,仿佛世界尽头的荒凉与广袤在我眼前一览无余。 在所有的自然景观中,山脉是我最爱的一种。在青海支教的时候,在黄石旅行的时候,在欧洲翻越阿尔卑斯山的时候。它们不分白天黑夜地矗立在那里,白日看起来壮丽,夜晚看起来凛然。将暮未暮的时候,天空呈现极深的蓝色,而山脊上笼罩着一层近乎白色的光辉,仿佛是给狼人照亮的踪迹。它们在月光下闪烁着微微的光芒,有如遥远的古堡,而树林是它的禁卫军,一丛丛指向天空的树杈令人肃然而无法亲近。我是没有办法改变它的;我只能让它改变我。 瑞尼尔山(Mount Rainier)就是给我留下如此印象的山峰之一。曾经想过开车从芝加哥沿90号公路到来西雅图,本地同学吃惊地睁大了眼:“冬天开车走90号,你疯了?两座山:洛基山,喀斯喀特山!”北达科他、蒙大拿,确实是美国最荒凉的、电视剧中越狱犯才会藏身的地方,我放弃了这个念头。而瑞尼尔山,正是喀斯喀特山脉的主峰之一。 瑞尼尔山是个非常奇异的地方。如果在中国的西部,人迹罕至的高原上,一座座雪山巍然立于崇山峻岭之间,非常壮观,但也觉得这地方是该有这些东西。而在临近大海、海拔非常低的地方,一座雪山拔地而起,某天在临海的城市的观光,蓦然回首,发现巍峨的雪山仿佛与你近在咫尺,与城市里的地标建筑交相辉映;即使在盛夏八月,雪山上的皑皑白雪也历历在目,明暗交织,仿佛月球表面银色白色的暗影。这时,你不禁感叹,好一座白日月球啊! 这就是雪山与火山的独特景观。只有火山的喷发会让海拔瞬间隆起至可怕的高度,高海拔又让火山很快被白雪覆盖。瑞尼尔山与日本的富士山属于同一种类型,都是仍然在活跃期的活火山。即使小小的岩浆喷发,也能让泥石流淹没至几十英里之外的城镇,毁灭人类百十年来的辛苦劳作。在这壮美的自然景观前,没有人会不产生自身渺小的感情,从而产生对自然的崇拜之情。 瑞尼尔山是地球上记录降雪最多的地方,因充沛的太平洋水汽就在邻近,沿着山脉一路上升,形成高海拔地区巨大的雪量。1971至1972年的冬季,这里一冬天下了2850厘米的雪。充沛的雨水肥沃了华盛顿州的土地,所有华盛顿州的车牌上都印着瑞尼尔山的标志,自豪地写着:Evergreen State ——永绿州。在这片纬度与黑龙江省相近的土地上,瑞尼尔山无疑是这里的人们巨大的宝藏与生命的源泉。 是的,毋庸怀疑,这里也是滑雪者的圣地。虽然离开车三小时的温哥华Wistler还有差距,但西雅图的雪场、雪季均让一般地区望而兴叹。这里有7/24不间断下雪的Stevens Pass雪场,直落数百米的几乎垂直的雪道,还有山顶上可以看日出的小屋。一直到四月底,我们仍可以驱车上山,而上山的路程好似王维的雪溪图。最重要的,到山顶的前一秒还在飘雨,一到山顶,绝对是飞雪皑皑,连油门都不那么沉重了。 Stevens Pass: 从西雅图405或5号向北,转522再转2号公路大约一个半小时。雪季门票大约200-400美元,不限时。山顶有出租雪具(39美金/天),但在山下随处可见有瑞尼尔山标志的户外用品店租会更便宜。 http://wangxiaoxin.net
