It's weird how the last week or so I have been dying for time off to just chill out and enjoy the area but now that I have 4 days off I am bored out of my gourd...Don't get me wrong the time off is wonderful but I don't quite know what to do with myself now that I don't have to report to the ski office every morning and spend the entire day there.
Today I was pretty stoked to have gotten on the mountain for a half day. I was able to rent a board and boots for cheap and jump on the bunny hill. I was pretty nervous since I haven't been snowboarding in aaages but I managed alright. I have never been able to ride toe side without eating it hard and wanting to quit. Luckily I think all this ski talk has helped me understand edges a little and surprisingly it helped my snowboarding tremendously! I stayed on the baby hill for a good majority of the day since Gene always says don't head up the hill until you have the fundamentals down. Fundamentals took me a good 2 hours and then I decided to brave the big girl chair...I jumped into line and tried to look like I knew what I was doing. Anyone who thought I knew what I was doing was HORRIBLY mistaken haha. I was totally surprised that I made it off the lift without crashing and burning but all's good in the hood. I headed down the mountain and was linking turns the entire way, I could not even believe it. I was literally grinning, no joke kid in a candy shop mondo grin. At one point when I was going down the hill an entire chair of guys were yelling stupid things at me and I got so nervous I couldn't remember how to do anything, I kiiiinda panicked haha but no worries folks I recovered. After my awesome day on the hill I headed back up to the cabin where I had forgotten what a ridiculous hike it was to get back up. Charley, Chris and I are in the middle of a good chick flick of The Devil Wears Prada and then I'm off to bed!
Hope you're all well!
