Snowboard Season Begins

Snowboarding was awesome! Ken and I, along with his ski/snowboard club, went to Seven Springs today. It was fantastic! Besides the weirdness of earlier (the carbecue), all sorts of other things happened.

On the way to the mountain we stopped at Sheetz. It has a better name according to the head of the group, but I can't currently remember it. At the mountain, I regained my snowboarding composure relatively quickly and also got to ride in UNPACKED POWDER for the first time ever. It was a dream. I want to go to Colorado. Hopefully New York in January and Vermont in February are sufficient. This is going to be a good season.

On both the way up and the way back, we saw a windmill farm pumping out the energy. I love seeing stuff like that. A picture might follow sometime. On the way back, we also saw the legs of a dead deer (I'm guessing hunted, and not roadkill) sticking up out of the back of a pickup truck. We also stopped at a Sheetz on the way home, whose nickname is now "Dirty Sheetz." You'll never guess why. It turns out buffalo sauce on a cheese steak, though not a Philadelphia thing, still makes my taste buds leap off my tongue and do a dance.

Now I'm home, clean and full of hot chocolate, and ready to sleep in tomorrow! I love snowboarding! Let the season begin!

Seven Springs is only 1.5 hours from my house jerk! :-P

It's ok...I can't fit into my snowboarding pants anyway!
Glad you're back on the mountain! :-)
