First Snowboarding Day of the Season! (yeah i know your jealous)

I went snowboarding last night! It was pretty sick! and amazing and awesome and beautiful and cold and snowy and fast and heavenly! It was Friday. As soon as the bell rang at 3:03 I booked it out of school, found my car and sped home. When I pulled into the driveway Adi was already there waiting for me to go so I ran around the house changed into my snowpants, grabbed my gear and shredstick and headed out the door. We piled our stuff into my tiny little cavalier, cranked up the rap music and began the hour and a half long drive out to Buck Hill which turned out to be more like 2 hours b/c of the traffic going to Twin Cities. 5 minutes before we actually got to Buck we could see the lights on the hill glinting off the flying snow from the many snow guns and we started to get really excited. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot we hopped out of the car and laced up our boots, grabbed our mittens hats and snowboards and headed out to the slopes (dont worry caleb we did buy tickets). Bursting with excitement we hit the slopes and surprisingly we didnt get bored with the four runs they had open. After about two hours we went inside and got some food and then we went right back out and hit the park. Adi did some rails and I did a few small jumps. We kept at it until about 8:30 when we left in order to get back to Roch before 10 to go see Twilight with a bunch of other people.

If you are thinking about going to Twilight, just wait until you can rent it b/c it is not worth the price of a movie ticket. The dialogue throughout most of the movie was awkward and kindof wierd. The plot jumped from one part of the book to another lacking the smooth flow of the novel, the CGI was also quite fake looking at times and very obvious. That said it was really quite hilarious but some of the humor was b/c of how bad it was at times. The only redeeming moments were when the cullen family played baseball and Emmet.

  1. And why would I be worried about you buying tickets.......? If you ski without a ticket you probably are hiking the back wich means, a there is enough snow to make a polar bear fall asleep standing up and I had better be invited! PS I am super jealus that you have already been out on your board. I wear my jacket in my room, and there is now snow on the ground to show for it.:)
