Dec. 26 Snowboarding Trip
This past weekend, a bunch of friends and I went snowboarding around Lake Tahoe, in probably what was the coldest weather I've ever been in. Luckily, it did not stop me from going, and I went on to have some of my best snowboarding I have had in a long time.
I haven't been snowboarding for too long, but I believe I've learned things quickly, simply by believing in certain mantras. I remember when I first started snowboarding, I'd say things like "Just do it", or "No fear, no fear". It's part commercialism, I know, but it works! This year's expression has evolved into, "Go big, or go home."
The above pictures were taken by my friend Ansen's nokia camera phone. Not bad pictures for such a tiny gadget. We drove up to Heavenly Ski resort on Friday morning, stayed in Reno for the night, then drove to Alpine Meadows on Saturday. The drive home was the real challenge. We made the best of the traffic, by stopping in Davis for dinner, then in San Franciso for dessert. In actuallity, probably worked out even better than I thought, before!
