California Lovin'
Where else in this country can you go from:
Watching a radiant sunset and balancing on a rock (ala Karate Kid) at a beautiful beach to...
Snowboarding in fluffy powder a week later.
I have been really missing snowboarding, so yesterday I went on my own to Snowboard at Sierra at Tahoe. I took the Bay Area Ski Bus straight up to Tahoe. The problem was the bus left Sunnyvale at 4:15am, meaning I had to get up at 2:45am to get ready and make sure I didn't miss the bus. The 4.5 hour trip on the bus was a bit cramped but we got to watch Taladega Nights and The Weather Man, so that made the time pass really quickly.
I didn't expect the conditions to be as good as they were. But I guess its been so cold that the snow has stayed pretty fluffy. I was really gung-ho yesterday and snowboarded for 6 hours straight from 9am-3pm with only a fifteen minute break for a Cliff Bar boost. Going in the Singles line made things soo nice, I just kept going on the lift with barely any wait. I also semi-accidentally caught air while snowboarding too. I didn't think I was going fast enough, but I did manage to grab 5-6 inches of air and land it too.. woooohooo...
More snowboarding pleeeeeaaassseeeee....!!!

I was gonna say "OH MY GOD YOU'RE IN SANTA CRUZ!" for the beach picture, but then I scrutinized the photo a little more closely and realized there were...PALM TREES. Which means San Diego, huh. Man I miss Cali.
Going skiing in Hokkaido (northernmost island of Japan) in about a week and a half. Will take pictures so we can compare powder.
I look forward to see you this weekend
