all-american rejects - one more sad song
spread my wings

snowboarding was fuckin' AWESOME this weekend. school-organized trip to hunger for friday/saturday. me and steiner went and my friend ana and her friend bryn were there as well. i'll keep it short

first day was NASTY. we got there late 'cause our bus driver got lost and almost slid backwards down a hill....that was fun. finally got up to hunger and there was a windstorm on top of chunky sleet. the upper lifts were closed, and soon the medium lift was as well so only the bunny hill was open. which was really nice snow...but the run lasted a minute at most....heh. we decided to eat lunch and when we came back out...the wind had stopped! amazing. they reopened that medium sized lift and we tore it up, it was cool, but short runs.

the next day (saturday) the weather was BEAUTIFUL, with even some fresh snow comin' down most of the day. everything opened up although all the black diamonds and doubles had nasty, nasty snow. chunky and bumpy and really hard on a snowboard. we stuck to blues most of the day, but later found a SWEET black diamond called east river drive or something that we'd ride to the terrain park and fuck around there.

i'm officially an IDIOT now, as i've started hitting jumps...with a broken back...haha. not to mention i'm going fast enough now that i could tear my head off if i did something stupid. but yeah...still got my head on, my back's fine. got a nice big bruise on my ass from one bad jump, though. other than that i impressed even myself! i can only do like a little grab off the jumps, but just the fact that i'm comfortable jumping now is fuckin' awesome. i'm seriously gonna kill myself one day.


god i love snowboarding. i approach it like surfing, though. everyone else kinda just chills roughly in the middle of the trails...but i all up the both sides just pumping up and down the side bank of the trail like i'm riding a frozen wave. it's a lotta fun....kept trying to see how high i could get up and how hard a turn i could cut at the top without losing an edge, face planting, and sliding down the bank....haha. always went down laughing, at least. i was always looking for shit to smack or hop off or spray....*shrugs* it's a frozen wave.
