Gluteus Maximus

Hey everyone, it's lazy Sunday so I decided to just update my blog. I had a pretty eventful weekend. I spent Friday night working and playing games with my friends. We were hoping to play Nazi Zombies all night, but it didn't end up that way. We were stuck playing Halo because someone forgot to bring their copy of Black Ops. We until 3:30 A.M. Saturday morning. This would be cool and all, but in two hours, I had to be in a bus on its way to Andalusia, Illinois.

At 5:30, we were on a way to a place that should have looked like this

Instead, I saw this

Large Brown Hill

Anyways, I couldn't complain because the actual hills were still fine. I went with my good friend, Mick. Before I went, ski resorts always had a way of kicking my ass. I've gone to a ski resort twice, once skiing and the other snowboarding. Both times I've gone, I should have probably broken a few bones! Anyways, this time was going to be different. I wanted to own these hills. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip

This tractor thingy was covering some puddle with snow

Black Diamond

Slushy slush slush

The first three hours were a bit rough. I wasn't used to these kinds of snowboards because they're actually good. The hills were steeper and you went faster. I fell a lot and thanked God that he gave us butts to fall on, but it was still painful. By the end of the morning, I probably could have described the specific taste of snow very well. Anyways, after lunch was when I started finally kicking ass. I got the hang of "carving" and was going down pretty well. I still fell because I was too noob at my toe side turns. By the end of the afternoon, I went down three intermediate hills without falling. My goal for next time is to go on a black diamond hill.

The experience, overall, was great. I loved getting out there and enjoying the last of what winter has to offer. Towards the last few hills we went down, the snow was actually turning into slush. It's what you get when you snowboard in 55° F weather. Next time winter will be a black diamond for sure!
