Since I'm going to tell you all the same story I figured I'd save time and just write it once.. Lazy eh!
As most of you know I just came back from spending a week visiting family and friends in CO. My last ditch effort to prolong the snowboarding season since it is winding down here in VT.. I had an absolute blast riding (Vail, Breck and Keystone) and even managed to sneak in a spring blizzard at Breck. Total fabulous white out conditions! For those of you who ride with me you know when I get in the pow I happen to lose people!!! Especially if it's a tree run.. I lost my friends at one point riding off resort. What can I say I saw a pow line and took it! I did manage to hook back up with them before they sent out search and rescue looking for me.. Laughing.. So maybe it wasn't one line it was several lines before I made my way back down!! I even got in some park action at Keystone though I spent ALOT of time on my bum.. I figure if they'd angle the kicks more like a halfpipe I'd be awesome at it and spend ALOT less time on my bum.. For all the brains I seem to have (or think I do) you'd think it would not be that overly hard for me to convert my pipe prowess into kick skills. I might however be more blonde than I realize!
I came back to find everything running smoothly on the home front and to find out Stowe was still opened cuz they got a 20" pow dump while I was away! SWEET! Managed to free up some time (its amazing how quickly you can get caught up work wise when snow's involved!!) and got up there Saturday.. Ooo what sweetness it was. 70 degree sunny temps and deep snow. Girls were riding in tank tops and as were a couple of guys. There were several fur carpets in attendence. Ewwwwwwwww!! You could tell spring fever was in the air.. I somehow managed to pick up a slope stalker! He did however have the best pick up line I've ever heard.. But the glorious conditions made up for the interesting sights and overly frisky men.. You would dig 6" trenches every time you carved! And then they opened the Gondi and the runs off it.. Sweet madness! The snow hadn't been touched since the storm. It was deep and with the temps like cement. After 2 runs we headed back to the quad cuz our legs couldn't take turning in all that cement! Best spring conditions I've had in years. Then Sunday the boys FINALLY let me ride an mx practice track with them.. Got to see how my new dirtbike could fly! For all my adrenaline junky urges I managed to keep things at an even pace.. For a little while anyway! Then the speed demon in me snuck out!! Laughing.. I freaked all my friends and the other guys practicing there when I had to bail off this table top... I was fine and laughing. But the guys looked like I'd given them a heart attack.. I find it amusing how they all come running to rescue the wee downed female but laugh and make jokes when their buds take a spill.. Anyway.. Awesome times this weekend! While I'm already sniffling over the snow leaving I am however glad to see the sun back out. Though I'm turning into a giant freckle. And will be more so since I leave for Wellington, FL tomorrow. Some inflated ego of a polo player is paying me to fly out to get my hands on his polo ponies. Oo la la..
