My Journal: Season 06-07 Sessions
By: perrik

Hell Yeah! the time has come to get back on the snow, set new goals to achieve and have fun everytime I can get on the snow with friends, havng a good ol time while snowboarding.

I'll be updating just this post since I was too lazy to keep a clear record of my Sessions last year. Hopefully I can meet my goal of 40 sessions! Leave comments on this blog if you rode with me during this season, it will help remember the good shredings and aventures of the winter! lol

Session #1 - Ski Brule, MI (Nov 4th) I was a little pissed that I missed the opening on 10/28 because I could've gone to ride for free. Nobody told me... Mother.... Good first time even with only log Jam open. Fun quarterpipe on the side of the run.

Session #2 - Ski Brule, MI (Nov 11th) Annie and Julie made the long drive from Flatlandia to ride with us @ Brule. We built our own jump and Annie slashed a couple of rails. Only bad thing is that I had a lot of speed going into a jump, lost control in the air and hurt my bad ankle... Sucks! Still hurts little bit, but I'm trying to get it stronger.

Session #3 - Tyrol Basin, WI (Dec 3rd) Ski Brule had the same 2 runs open so we decided to make the 3 hour drive to Tyrol. Met with Annie, Julie and Edgar. I was hitting the C-box all day without problems until I asked Jessica to take a video of me and wham! took a hard fall... Oh and Julie was mean and cutted me off from the back and we crashed. lol

Session # 4 - Norway Mountain, MI (Dec 9th) Norway had 5 runs opened. It was fun, the only thing is that there were no small features in the park so I didn't hit anything... We kept lapping Vali which had like 3 small jumps on the side of the run. At the end of the day, one of the chairs on the lift slid back and hit a ski patroller... Scary shi*t!

Session # 5 - Pine Mountain, MI (Dec 16th) I don't know why we've never gone to Pine since it's so close to Norway, but we loved it! They just had 2 runs open but the black diamond was very wide and super fun for carving! Got to practice my cross-under turns and ollies off the rollers. Hardly nobody on the hill so that was nice also. Can't wait for winter break so I can snowboard every day!

Well, our season was officially over last Saturday at Ski Brule. I’m so proud of the progression that we accomplished this season. It has been truly the best one so far.

It’s time to hang the boots, drink some more beer while the rain passes away and look forward for the summer! Can’t wait to go Wakeboarding, Biking, Scuba Diving and Camping!

My Journal: Blizzard snow day!
By: perrik

My prayers for a snow day were finally answered! I woke up yesterday’s morning at 3:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I browsed the web until 5 am and found out that GBAPS had called school off! We drove in the middle of the blizzard to Norway Mountain and were two of the only 10 people at the mountain. It was so cool, every single run we took it was just us. Jessica and I were hitting this wooden bench and I was doing a kicker and a fun box. It was awesome! Green bay got 13.1 inches, the most ever for the month of february!

No let’s see tomorrow how it is up in Indianhead and Powderhorn with the –26 windchills! Brrrr!
