Snowboarding blind

Since my trip out of the country for work was postponed, I took advantage of having no meetings scheduled for Friday to take the day off and hit the slopes with Soph. We headed up to Kirkwood early in the morning, and had an awesome day.

The snow up there is crazy deep. Like 20 feet or something. We were going down blacks and double blacks that were essentially just blues. All of the gullies and gulches were filled in with snow. It was a blast.

It was blowing really hard, though. I couldn't see the lift until we were one pole away. No visibility at all. And the wind was so strong at the top that if you just stood up on a flat area, it pushed you along like a sailboat. One run we went on was so whited-out, that it felt like I was in Antartica. A little bit disconcerting.

But the snow was awesome. I love being the first or only person to make tracks down a long run. What a blast!
