Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge and Photos from the White Mountains

Mar 28, 2015 22:14

Bobby ended up placing fifth in his category today at the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge. This was a very impressive result (in my admittedly biased opinion!) There were 36 competitors in his category, which was ages 26-35, so he was also competing against guys significantly younger than him. And it is also worth remembering--and it's easy to ( Read more... )

Fabulous pictures. I think Bobby did extremely well. Congrats to him! You both look so happy.

I do too! I assumed there were about 15 people in his category, which is still respectable, but when he told me 36, I would have liked to have fallen over! We were in the hot tub later with a guy who competed in the next age group up from Bobby and placed 19 out of 38 and sounded like he had been skiing a lot longer than Bobby's been riding and on a lot more intense mountains than Liberty. But Bobby has worked hard these last four years, and I'm happy for him to have that recognized. :)

Thank you, on his behalf and mine for the photos! :)

Congratulations to Bobby! Also, you are dedicated! No way would I stand around in the snow like that--I hate the cold!

Aside from my feet, it wasn't too bad! :D I'm forcing myself to get used to the cold, having a snowboarder for a husband and therefore getting carted along to lots of cold places at the coldest times of the year.

I kind of feel like our trip earlier this year to Stowe, Vermont, hardened me off a lot. It was -20F while we were there! So when the temp's hovering around freezing, like yesterday, I lately find myself going, "Eh." I never thought it was possible! I used to dread winter for the cold.

Oh, what great pictures! Congrats to Bobby--sounds like it was a fabulous time all around.

Thank you! It was. :) One last hurrah before spring.

(Although he put his board away tonight without giving it its final wax on the off-chance that the Vermont resorts are still open in May ...)
