Last night I was at Jiminy Peak. I went in JJ's lodge for about 20 minutes. Came out and my board was gone. I'm so pissed. Why would you steal my board when there's 100 nicer newer ones around?!
 
Anyways its a Black K2 Mini Zeppelin. It's 142cm. Has a red devil and K2 Symbol on the bottom. There's a small devil inbetween the bindings on top. There's a Duct Tape Paw Print on the tail. Has Navy Blue Ride LS Bindings with a leash attached. Serial Number 1083716.
 
I've had this board for 4 years now and its over 4 years old. I really want it back and I'm offering a possible reward for the finding/return of it.
 
On top of that my laptop crashed and now I have to use my parents computer which sucks. I cant sleep so I woke up early and here I am. I have work today and its freezing raining. Yuck.
 
It's just not my weekend T_T

So this past weekend I spent 8am-3:30-4 pm at Jiminy Peak taking the hiring training course. I'm going to hopefully be a Skiwee (kids aged 3-6) ski instructor this year at Jiminy Peak. I can't wait.

So to reflect the past 2 days we all met in JJ's. We broke off into little groups and taught the trainer on the spot about something. I taught the group and trainer about the Chicken Dance because it was the only thing I could think of. We learned about the Teaching model/cycle and the Safety model/cycle. After lunch we had a "small group modeling session" where the trainer basically acted like we were all brand new skiiers and gave us a
"model" lesson. It was fun and I bet without it I would of failed completely at getting this job since I haven't skiied since 6th grade. After that we learned and talked about teaching children and youth. We discussed the differences between teaching children and adults.

Today we learned about the Guest Service model. Basically about how Guests are the number one priority and how we should act in our lessons and outside of them when We wear the Jacket. Then we broke off into our groups again and had a different trainer. We had to "teach" the trainer and the group the lesson based on the teaching cycle. (Which is Introduction, Assement, Goals/Achievements, Assement, Present information/show them how to do it, practice, assement/feedback, summary.) After we did that and had lunch we learned about the Skills we need to be teaching and things we need to look for in the lessons. Then we played a "river game" where we were broken off into groups again (not the same) and given frisbees. then with those frisbees we had to make it across a "river". It was a lot of fun. My group came in first even though we had like 5 frisbees at the end lol. When 3 out of the 4 groups were done we all ran down to watch the last group. It was so funny. Then we went back inside the lodge where we discussed the committments we'd have to make, the pay we'd make, and the scheduals.

Next saturday afternoon they'll be posting the new employees after two more small group activities. We're gonna be on the snow too if all goes well. =D I'm excited.

The only reason I'm NOT doing snowboarding is because you have to be 16 and I'm only 15. I might get an extra dollar an hour for being a Crossdresser (Crosstrainer) lol. =D

We finally had a friggin snowday and it wasnt even for snow, it was for windchill. Last friday we got like 5-8 inches of snow though, it was sweet. I went snowboarding Saturday Night at Jiminy Peak and had a blast even though my friends ditched me. It seemed almost like they used me for the ride, but I know my friend Tucker didn't. He just got caught up in impressing my other, older friend, Matt. So yeah.

I got stuff done. Finally tackled the box in Alex's park. Finally got over that little fear and I 50-50'd the entire thing on my third try. It was nice having some real snow on the slopes. On Coyote Ridge where the pipe was last year, behind it all "blocked off" was some sweet completely natural snow. I looked at Tucker and was like "You Think it's safe?" "nope" of corse He'd say no. I slid down a bit and then went in. It was awesome. So nice.

So, besides my friends being stupid boys and ditching me, I had an amazing night. Might have another "wind chill" day tomorrow. x3

Oh yesterday I also walked around and snowboarded down some little hills while watching snowmobilers get stuck in ditches. My dad let me borrow a big piece of PVC pipe and I made a little drop in to rail like before (resort to snowboard-related stuff gallery), but couldn't set up the PVC pipe yet. I used my rail from before. Showed my dad what a 50-50 was haha. Maybe if we have the day off tomorrow I'll bundle up and go outside, today it was simply too cold.

Keep It Real!

Soo Friday I went snowboarding at Jiminy Peak. Wasn't the best, but It was ok. Met a strange guy on the lift, it was funny. We talked. Umm yeah it was funnn.

Last Night I went to the Never Shave Again Tour with my friends. I crowdsurfed during aiden and the losers dropped me on my head. Like they moved out of the way purposely. I slid down the bastards, they didnt catch me or even attempt to. I slammed my head hard against the floor. They stared at me funny. Some guy helped me up (that wasnt in that part where I fell). I also fell when I was getting lifted up. The friggin loser moved away that i reached out for and SLAM! right on my head. Right now my head is killing me. But whatever. Friggin great concert. It dies today played the meanest drunk joke on us, telling us they were breaking up and that it was their last show, a**holes! I still love them anyways.

There was this 9 year old girl decked out in Aiden stuff. Shes my f*ckin hero!

Oh the wall of death was HUGE! It was 15ft long and 15ft wide. Damn. I wanted to go, but my friend was like YOU'LL DIE.

"ITS IN OUR HEADS, ITS IN OUR HEARTS, THE WORLD BY STORM!"

Gotta love aiden.

This season is gonna be crazyy. I just can't wait. Ima go crazy. Wow. Yeah I just gotta get some of this out of my system although its not working. I wish we had a hockey rink near by. Although they are calling for snow this weekend, it won't last.

Ahh yes. Haha life is going pretty well I'd say. Cross Country is amazing and I'm actually doing quite well this year. Might be one of the 10 girls going to sectionals. That makes me happpyyy. It's fall and that means snowboarding season is coming up eeee. Can't wait for that.

Hoping to get a job soon. Maybe at the local resort. I'm old enough to work now. Just gotta get my working papers. Haha yeahh. If I can't get a job there I dunno what I'm gonna do because I want the season pass that comes with the job. Mehhh..

Things at school are...yeah schooly. Could be better but oh well. None of my bestest friends are in the school and the only good thing about it is Cross Country. Hell oh well.With all the school shootings they're like boosting security. They've locked the doors and shiz and its stupid. Whatever. Haha.

Um. Snowboarding...want to go...need to get new warmer snowpants. The ones I got last year are too thin. Oh well

Weee =D

Lifes nothin but a Roller Coaster Ride.

Aghh I have that summer itch. I wanna go riding soo bad right now. Omg winter weather come baccckkk! I hope this season isn't as icy and bad as last season was. There was no powder like ever on the east coast. I was so jealous of the west coast getting their 8 feet! Agh! We didn't have any bits of back country this year. I was sad.

Anyways I've had this "itch" since I watched the Shaun White album the other day, and now I'm going insane. Hopefully when I go to camp in a week, It'll take my mind off things but I doubt it. I'll just drive people there insane like I've been driving my parents insane.

Wow I got my report card the other day and I'm in Honors Earth Science, Global History, and English next year. Also I'll be in Math A/B Yr 2. Wow how am I gonna manage all of that and a job? I'll figure out some way even if it means like no sleep lol. I'm hoping to work at Jiminy Peak. Get free season passes!

AGH I WANNA GO SNOWBOARDING!

I was like OMG OMG OMG!!! and started jumping around. Im so friggin happy. I dunno which I should choose though. I have a season pass to Jiminy already so either bromley or magic mountain. I'm so happy. My monday sucked until now. WOO!!

ANyways the conditions haven't been great but I've gone anyways in this windy, icy, freezing weather. Its supposed to get better which is good because me and my friend are entering the Rail Jam on April Fools day at Jiminy Peak. We're also doing Retro day which is this sunday. WOOOOO!! So happy sorry. lol.

Anyways yeah I guess thats all for now. :p

[Edit:] They didn't have anymore bromley ones and I took a look at Magic Mountain and that looks lame. I took the Jiminy Passes.  Depending on how many I get I'll probably sell them to my brother for half price or something so he can take his GF boarding.

Ahh yes. It's currently snowing like crazy and has been all day! It hasn't stopped yet which is quite wonderful. It made my bus late to school today and all after school activities cancled which rocks. Giant flakes of wonderful powder yay!

As for snowboarding I've been doing well I think anyways. Been going off more jumps. I'm going to start working on board grabs soon. I'm getting better at 180's just off the ground. I've also been riding down more black diamonds and riding at faster speeds. I love snowboarding.  I'll probably go Friday as I always do because my friends have Lessons. If the weather is bad, I'll go to the stupid dance at my school instead, but I doubt it. Dancing's for losers lol. I'll choose snowboarding over dancing anytime! (especially since I can't dance)

Theres a Mest Concert this Saturday! I'm hoping to go with my friend. It'll be lots of fun. I went to a MUTT Concert last saturday lol. That was fun although I didn't know anyone at the concert except a few people (not including the band)

Hmm I have to call my Grandma. She's offering to buy me new snowboarding boots and snowpants since mine have bit the dust. My boots aren't tightening properly anymore. I've had them for 2 seasons and they were bought used anyways. As for my snowpants I've had them for years! I'm pretty sure they were hand me downs lol.

Ok anyways, I guess I'm off. ITS 4:20!

Ahh yes. I went snowboarding on the 1st at Jiminy. It was okay. Its was a mix of powder and ice. I definately went out there without a care because I was hitting all the little jumps I could find along the trails and such. It was a lot of fun. I was riding faster than usual and everything. I met up with a group of friends and we were riding together. They're all older than me (like 16-20 lol) but whatever. I ended up landing flat on my back on some ice because I was going really fast so I turned my board sideways as if I were stopping and it suddenly went from powder to ice and my board just slid and I fell backwards right onto the ice. It hurt. Anyways...

It snowed today. I was hoping to go since we had a snowday, but I didn't which sucks and it's kinda getting late now. Whatever. I'll go friday hopefully and then this weekend I'm hoping to get new guitar strings. Yummy.

Happy New Year Everyone.

So I got my knee checked out wednesday and there was nothing wrong with it. My ankles still sprained but that didnt keep me from going boarding today. Hell yeah. So Much So Close Jiminy peak. I picked up my season pass (it's smexy) and went boarding. It was nice today, hard packed snow but barely any ice. I went from 10am-3:30 pm with my friends. Never ever go with skiiers. It's no fun...whats worse is getting caught on a 6pack lift with 5 skiiers. Wow. o.o That was horrible. Anyways good times today. Mostly rode alone. Fun fun though. MP3 Player <3 Hell yeah. Tomorrows Christmas eve and Im going to be getting some last minute shopping done. Woo! Last minute shopping!

Ahh yes, Thursday night we got oodles of snow (hehe). Friday it seemed like it was a Nationwide snowday. Unluckily I had to watch my little brother. 7am-1pm. Then I had to go to my friends birthday party which was fun. Sledding and a snowball fight. Yeah.. Hot cocoa, home made pizza and cake. His families awesome. Really cool. Then I went to my Grandmas for the night. Today I went to NYC for the Radio City Christmas Show starring the Rockettes. It was cool. Lots of walking which definately killed my knee. My left leg is in pain.

About my leg. Supposedly I sprained my left ankle snowboarding about 2 weeks ago. As for my knee, there's something wrong with it that might take me out. I'm really worried. I have to go see an orthapedic doctor for it. The tendon or bone or something sticks out on the underside and my knee likes to give out. After walking on it all day it hurts like hell and when I ran this season it would give out. I'm worried. I also have something wrong with my left wrist.

I'm falling apart...I'm too Young to Fall apart! ACK!

I'm hoping to go to Jiminy tomorrow. It all depends on my knee and shizzle. Good night SB.com.
