sometime in 02 i got my first season pass for snowboarding. that was the year i really learned to bomb the slopes, and i did it with a new orange and yellow beenie that i found somewhere in southlake tahoe. that beenie followed me on every single trip i took after. europe, the pacific, the california outdoors, central america, mexico and countless trips to the mountains for boarding. until last weekend. i went on a short camping trip to a lake with some friends, and it fell out of my pocket while on a hike. i have found the tranquility to let it pass into the world, but i'll always remember my orange and yellow beenie.
in remembrance.
