(chuga chuga chuga)
pretty good weekend i have to say, especially compared to the previous, when i was stuck at home on the couch for three days coughing up various shades of green and yellow.
good snow and a beautiful day on friday at abasin with mango. took my new board, and for the first time, everything just seemed to click. pretty much whatever i went down, i felt strong. even through the crud i was flying, and believe it or not, i had a near powder experience on an untouched groomed run. dont now if it was my new board and bindings, or those plus the conditions, but whatever it was, it worked. we also made some of the first tracks down the east wall when they opened it around noon, although, that wasnt the greatest experience since i put my first really good gouge in my new board. took a hunk of metal right out of the edge on the nose when i went flying right over a rock that was covered by about and inch of snow. a piece of it is still hanging there as a nice reminder.
saturday wasnt bad either. there was a lot of traffic on the way up to breckenridge, but it was worth it. even though it had been a couple days since the snow had fallen, it stayed cold, so the conditions were really nice. unfortunately, brenda decided to go against precedent and get hurt on the first run instead of the last. i hope her wrist isnt broken.
then on sunday we went to the broncos game. poor outcome, but it was still enjoyable. the best part was the flyover by four airforce fighters during the national anthem. we were sitting in the upper deck and could look south out of the stadium. about halfway through the anthem, i noticed the jets coming straight towards us about 10 miles away. they crossed over the stadium from south to north and passed over about 200 feet above us, so we got to watch them the entire time. very cool. the second highlight of the game was making a dumbass steeler fan look stupid when he tried to claim that "there are more steeler fans in the world, than fans of any other team," and then i made him look even dumber when he tried to claim that "there are more fans of the NFL in the world than any other sport." whatever, moron. brenda finally got me to back off when she said, "dont bother with him, hes got a mullet!"
