I started this season with a bang, went to CO. Alright so actually I had to go out there before our season in the midwest started, because last spring I left all my snowboard gear at Brian's house & needed to pick it up. So I made it a snowboard trip. Spent 2 days riding at Arapahoe Basin. The snow felt great although the altitude sucked all the energy out of my legs. The lift lines were so long it kinda took the fun out of it. Sat. night I went out with a friend in Breck & he got all drunk & crazy, won't go into detail about that but it was fun & I have something to give him crap about for a long time to come >:)
Oh my friend is in a snowboard book now!! There's a picture of him in the "pipe tricks" section of a snowboard guide book, shoot I can't remember the name of the book now but I'm gonna have to get a copy of it.
Sunday he was planning to ride with me but someone booked a last minute fishing trip with him so he had to work. I've been asking him to take me up Baldy Mtn. for a year, and he finally offered to, but we would have to get up at 5am...we didn't. I finally met up with the other midwesterners who were out there & we made a few runs together at A-Basin. But as I pulled out of the parking lot and started my drive back down toward the airport I was overcome with sadness. I can't say how much I miss living in Colorado, but more than that I miss being in Breckenridge, it's my Heaven out there. Gotta figure out a way to get out there soon, for good.
