So i just got back from my long, but exciting trip from mammoth.
Snowboarding is fun! And especially after you start to get the hang of it. Of course it took me serious amounts of time to get down the mountain the first time, and i was pretty much on my butt through the entirety of it. Shelyb's parents lapped us, and her uncle lapped us twice! After that though i could get down the mountain at a fair pace.
We went up to higher runs where there wasn't as many people as at the base of the mountain, and it was BEAUTIFUL! You look out, and all you can see it mass amounts of trees, and vast planes of pure white, and mountains. The snow higher up is so wonderful and fluffy. (That makes it nice also, because when you fall it doesn't hurt as much.) We sat and watched snowboarders go over the jumps, and we took out time down the mountain. It's just so peaceful and quite. I'm still pretty sore, but it's nothing compared to the first and second days of snowboarding, I could hardly walk at all!
It's good to be back though. Nothing beats San Diego, my home.
