Snow Valley - January 19, 2007!

After two devestating dissapointments earlier in the year, weeks of anticipation, hours of driving, we finally made it to Snow Valley! Yeah!! Finally!! And for the very first time (at least at a resort) I was brave enough to enter the 'cool' and highly elite class of snowboarders!! I must say it was awesome!! It was a lot better than I expected it to be. It's definatly something I'm going to keep doing. Well just so I don't look to good, I did switch to skiis at around 1:00. Yah, I know shame on me, but I was getting tired of spending so much time off of my feet and on the ground, so I decided to take at least for the moment the easier way of travelling down a hill, though I know it's not near as 'cool'. Actually if I were speaking literally skiing would be way more cool than boarding. With boarding we spent so much energy falling down and getting up we managed to keep ourselves warm, plus you never get going fast enough to feel even the slightest breeze. But anyway, hopefully I will improve. And who knows next year I might be tackling the Terrain Park (though I wouldn't count on it if I were you). Anyway it's been an enormously (if that's a word) long day, and I'm about ready to say goodnight. I was up at 4:40 this morning, made lunches till we left, left at 6, got there around 9 and then I stretched every muscle in my body (at least it feels like it) drove home, and the joy of all joys I got to do barn chores with Matt from 7:30 till about 9:00. I had a nice hot shower, and now I'm totally ready for bed. Goodnight all and thanks for another awesome day of memories! See you all on the slopes in February!!

Yesterday was totally amazing, except I hardly saw you at all. :-P I'm glad you liked snowboarding...you should come to Kirby with me sometime...I'll just ride switch the whole time so you can keep up, and we can both be just as sore. ;P

Good memories...

We need to get together sometime soon again, we still haven't dyed our hair blue. ;P

Yeah I know that was what stunk about just starting boarding. At least we had a bunch of us together so we didn't have to do it alone. And yeah we should go to Kirby sometime soon, and we definately still have to die our hair blue!!
