Please bring the cold back!

Well, I went snowboarding on Monday Jan. 15th, it was sunny and icy and 7 degrees outside. I went snowboarding on Thursday Jan. 18th, it was OK. Snowed all day but it was a little heavy, we still had a good time! Monday Jan. 22nd, it rained! and it sucked! We rode for about an hour in a half and gave up. Could this be the end of the great season that we have had? Everyone do the snow dance to bring back the powder!!!!!!
Or maybe we should do the sun dance so we can focus on rock climbing!? hmmmm, thats a tough decision.

Keep the snow coming!

Saundra, Ann, Jason and I all drove up to Stevens Pass on Jan. 8 for some more snow. Even though it rained the day before the powder (if you could find it) was great. The last storm that passed through knocked down power lines and trees which left the pass without power. They were running off of generators the whole day. At least they were open! We were going to ride on Tuesday the 9th as well but they had to close cause they couldn't keep running on the generator. After a full day of riding we drove down to Leavenworth to stay the night. Driving through Tumwater Canyon I noticed that Drury Falls looked HUGE! The temp. was pretty warm though. We stayed at our TrendWest timeshare for only $40 a night! We had a good time relaxing in the hot tub, playing pictionary/cherades and stuffing our self with Ann's pasta.

Since the mountain was closed on Tuesday we slept in headed back to Seattle at about noon. Another great time with great friends.

12 inches of FRESH!

I rode 12 inches of fresh today! I actually couldn't believe it! This has by far been the best snow season in Washington that I have ever had. I guess that is probably because I have been able to ride much more this season than usual. So far every day that I have gone to Stevens Pass has been a powder day this year! So many people told me that it would be a mistake to get a season pass but it has already paid for itself. El Nino my ass!

I rode with Saundra today who has been my main riding partner this season. Hopefully I will be able to get up there with Reka but with her school schedule it is not likely :( O-Well. She is going up on Sunday but I have to work. If this snow keeps falling she'll have a great time!
