vr399 I tried to comment on your diary but it wouldn't let me, but to answer your question we went up to Beaver Mountain, oh and thanx so much for the comment. You were right...I didn't want to stop riding. rock on. dude. Today rocked hard. M, Brock, Aleisha and I went up snowboarding up at Beaver Mountain. Of course being a beginner I biffed it tonz, but I am proud to say that I only face planted once, and it wasn't my fault...there was this huge block of ice and ........I hit it.....ok, maybe it was my fault. lol. It was awesome.....I didn't want to stop, I loved feeling the sharp breeze on my face and I loved the cold weather, the powder,I loved everything about it. And the view was incredible. I got pretty good towards the end, and I didn't biff it getting off the lift. It was the wildest thing that I have ever done in my entire.boring.life. We head up again this weekend, so that should be fun. Aliesha, she's been skiing since she could walk, and she told us that she would never strap 2 feet to 1 board. Well, she did today and she was awesome at it. I've tried both now, and I have to say that snowboarding is tonz easier then skiing is, ......and it's simply more fun. no offense to all you pure-bred skiiers, but....I guess it's just personal preference, and I guess that's my opinion....lol Anyways....after we ate at Panda Express then went back to M's house and watched "The New Guy" -excellent movie- Almost everyone fell asleep, it was fun though. I headed home, and now I'm ready for bed. goodnight!
