In the trees

I finally got a taste of what I was waiting for. Ever since it started getting colder, I've been waiting for a good power day on my snowboard. Craving it.

The big storms we had last week made it possible — but only really for those of us who don't have to work during the week. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people. The problem with this area is it warms up fast after a storm.

I got out Saturday though and found some some nice little pockets of snow. It got softer and softer as the day went on though. Steven and I took a few runs in the morning, taught a few lessons, and took a few in the afternoon.

It was fun to be in the trees. It was sad though, because it was my last day since I'm going to Japan in two weeks. I feel like my season ended before it started.

Lesson learned: I guess if I really want snow, I can't live in a warm climate.
