Red Mountain


Best boarding I have ever experienced. The day before skiing Red there was a foot and a half of the best powder known to man dropped across the resorts two peaks. My new board was designed for this day in mind, Wide base short but still short and light. I did things I would have never done before, landed 10+ foot drops (mid run), a tree rail, a tree plant (wall plant on a tree), enough 180s to make me dizzy, jumps every where, all without falling but a hand full of times. Isaac I can’t say thank you enough if you wouldn’t have taught me how to board I would have never had this religious experience. So thanks. Two weekends from now PANAROMA snow report: 10" new last night! Sweet dreams all you powder hounds! ... Oh quick Canada note. If a kid asks you on the street if you'll "boot him"(i.e. "will you boot me?") believe it or not this is his desperate attempt to get you to buy him beer. NO SHIT

I finaly, after 30 days of waiting, I got my X-box. Not just any xbox a sepcialy modded one that includes over 10,000 clasic games, ie every nintendo game ever made+ 64 games and even arcade games. It was well worth the wait. I will try to keep the playing to a minimum and not get holed up in my room ALL the time...after all i do still have to eat...or do I?

Ok maybe

Its getting better. Classes are really hard but one of them is really fun and its cool because its all the same people from last quarter because were all in the same major. So I'm making new friends and talking to old ones. And now its official that I'm going to take the river guide certification over spring break which makes me very happy. And lastly I might be getting a new tattoo soon plus my parents are going to pay for it because the local place now acepts money off our "Eagle Cards" so i can buy a tattoo instead of food. Oh and im going ice climbing this weekend in canada. YES!

cut me a break already

So my phone sucks too so i ordered a new one to be delivered to my room. Fed ex says it has arrived my front office has no idea what im talking about FUCK!

First day blues

this BLOWS i get back to my dorm room to find that over break some one stole my ps2 and my air soft gun (geek i know). So i have to file a police report and i find out that 15 other dorms reported roberies, so they did actual detective work including taking prints. So that took for ever and later my CA tells me that he was in my room doing searches they have to do over break to make sure our electronics werent plugged in while doing this search he found a beer and reported me so im also screwed on that. Now i have a giant list of STUFF to do and i cant get motivated to do it. oh ya and the xbox i ordered befor break still isnt here and now the guy hasnt talked to me for a few days. Oh ya i almost forgot i lost my brand new digital camera over break too. this BLOWS. to add insult to injury i woke up to snow about an inch and by the time i could play in it a rain storm came through and washed it all away.
