happy days....heeeeeeey!
whooooo! four days in colorado and now the midwest will never be the same! that was one of the best vacations ever. great powder up in those mountains with fresh snow for three days and the sun came out on the last run of the fourth day. typical day:
7:30am - get up
8:00am - breakfast
8:30am - get dressed
9:30am - arrive at copper mountain
10:00am - snowboarding!!
12:30pm - lunch
1:30pm - more snowboarding!!
4:00pm - head back to condo
4:30pm - shower
5:30pm - supper
6:30pm - games/tv/relax
11:00pm - bed
many good memories in there. especially the fence jump. i won't go into detail here, but ask me sometime in person and i'll tell you all about it. and the 180's! doing a 180 seemed to be the theme of the week. it's all warren, nate and travis tried to do. by the end of the third day, we had developed a run that we just kept repeating and it went something like this:
1. take the american flyer lift up
2. down a really steep and powdery slope
3. take the sierra lift to the top
4. jump the fence and fly through a small powdery bowl
5. great powder and sweet kickers through the far west run
6. merge onto a green with nice kickers and tree glade excursions
7. take the timberline lift back up
8. traverse over a little ways
9. go through the witch's cove tree glade
10. down to the terrain park
11. hit the incline box and high box
12. go fast down a green while practicing switch
13. back at american flyer lift
each run took about 1.5 hours. so it's basically this: american flyer, steep, sierra, fence jump, powder, kickers, switch, timberline, traverse, tree glades, terrain park, switch, speed. we did a lot of other stuff the first three days too. warren, nate and i found some sweet glade runs. and some not so sweet glade runs. we got separated from the other three at the top and ended up in a major glade run with powder past the knees. you had to keep moving or else sink. getting stuck in powder is not very fun; it takes a lot of strength to get out of it. powder is great until you get stuck in it.
anyhoo, it was a sweet vacation, a perfect ending to my college career. oh yes, i am now a college graduate. very exciting. i talked to motorola a couple weeks ago and apparently, i don't have a definite interview. my resume is before the hiring board and they decide whether i get an interview or not. i'll call again next week to check for any news. otherwise, i'll still be working at the testing center (with major pay and hour increase).
that is the summary of my first december vacation. details on the second to come afterwards. i still don't know what the plan is. should be fun though!
have a merry Christmas everyone! and a happy new year!

Sounds fantastic! Really makes me wish I had strength/clearance to board, maybe in a few years::) That'd be sweet. I just got back from Florida, it was good (I wrote a little in my blog and on another interesting happening). That said, God bless and Merry Christmas!
