day number 2

so friday after thanksgiving was the second day on the slops and for black friday it was surprisingly crowded. the day was a little better a nice 30 degrees outside which is perfect for snowboarding and i was with a few people so it was all fun. the worst part of the day came at the end when i had to carry my intoxiated brother down the mountain cause he was unable to do it himself lol ........ just another out of the ordinary expierence i have while snowboarding. the day concluded with me racing home at 4 o clock to get to work by 630 needless to say i sat at work for a very uncomfortable 5 hours in my snow gear with no time to change. its all worth it for the love of the game.

the start

last saturday november 29th was the first day of riding this season and it was a historical one. that day happened to be the coldest day on the mountain in years, at its coldest on the peak the temerature dipped down to -14 degrees with windchill. even for a die heart snowboarder this was a little bit rediculous and i couldnt stand it i had to head down to the bottom and stay on the park run. it felt a little weird getting back on my board as it always does the first time because its such an awkward way to stand but by then of the day i was riding normal again. besides the freezing cold temps and ice patches it was all and all a good day on the mountain.
