 We met Tom (riderspro) at Breck on Tuesday, but I was the only one to ride with him since most them wanted to ride the several parks that they have and Jess changed her mind after she saw Tom guiding us to the double black diamonds area, lol.  I have to say that it was pretty sick! The run was super vertical and full of trees. Check out the pic.

Today we went to Beaver Creek and I got the best run of my vacation. The six inches of fresh powder were soo freakin cool and I was flying down the mountain underneath the chairlift while everyone watched me carved perfect turns... I still can't take the grin off my face!

  Keystone is sick! You can definetly see the difference with Vail. I liked that I saw way more snowboarders and their Area 51 park was totally sick and with some features like I have never seen in the Midwest. I wish I could be as good to be ablle to ride most of it...

Today it was pretty cool. We spent most of the day at Blue Sky Basin with Julian and Laura. Afterwards we went and checked the superpark at Golden Peak, the halfpipe looked sick!

Coming back to the house, Julian and I worked on our little kicker in fron of the house and were able to get a good pic.

Tomorrow we'll go to Breckenrige and meet Riderspro. Lookin foward to ride with him.

I was supposed to write this blog last night but we were so tired from riding and we had to get ready for the Christmas Eve dinner.
We had the best day so far after meeting a member of the website, Jeff (vailsbestinstructor). He is an awesome guy, he was very kind and agreed to ride with us for 3 hours and give us a tour of the mountain (his office). He is a level  instructor and guide so imagine all the knowledge of terrain and snowboard techniques that he shared with us. We really appreciate him taking his time to ride the morning session. Thanks again Jeff! You rock!
So we went to the back bowls, Sun Up and China Bowl which is my favorite so far, then we went to Blue Sky Basin and went onto this trail called big rock park which was sick with a bunch of trees and a natural halfpipe. Afterwards we met the rest of my friends who loved the offroad trails so Jeff took us on this gnarly but extremely fun run called Hairbag Alley.

Christmas Eve dinner was very fun with a great dinner, opening gifts and playing drinking games. We even went outside to ride a minikicker that we built in fron of the house. We were so hangover this morning that we decided to stay in to recharge batteries and hit Keystone for a night session.

Gotta go! See ya!

  So we made it through the 1,285 miles journey from Green Bay to Vail! Today was our first day of riding here at Vail and we had a blast. My friends who had already been had been here for 5 days showed us some of the terrain that they had been riding. We wen inti this backcountry run called Caddy´s Café. Is not even on the Vail´s map, but it´s like a natural halpipe, really freak in fun!

Right now is time to call it a day and get ready for tomorrow´s quest.

See ya!

It was nice to meet new people from the website, specially midwest people since we can get together more oftenly.
I started doing some ollies after Wazzy and Pushgirl showed me the right technique. Pushgirl convinced me to do a kicker that actually was pretty cool. I just need to get more speed and feel comfortable on the air. Daisys95 did her first funbox after 2 years and mine ever. It was cool! I liked learning more freestyle from them.
After spending sometime on the minipark, we went to the other side on the black runs. I even went to get my freeride board to try to get more speed and catch up with these guys who are soo fast. We were blazing down the black runs and I thought I could've gone faster but it was icy in some spots and I held myself back. Especially because I didn't want to get injured right before our big trip to Colorado like last spring when we went to Canada and the east coast.
I was talking to Jess afterwards about how when you ride with other people that are better than you feel a little intimidated but it depends on your attitude because you can also take advantage of these riders and push yourself more trying to mimic their skills.

My next blog will be next Friday from Vail, CO!!


Push_Girl, Wazzy53, me and Daisys95gt at Cascade Mtn.
