My Perfect Day

Well as you can obviously see from my blog I love snowboarding. Now we're not talking "oh I go snowboarding a couple times a month," No. We're talking like hard-core, dedicated snowboarding. Like always thinking about snowboarding and never letting a day go by without snowboarding for at least 8 hours, or at least (when I'm at school) thinking about it.
See what most people think about snowboarding is that its a quick sport, most of the time sitting on your butt, or even that its a disgrace to the skiing community. But that's not even close to what its really about. Its about being out there, living in the moment, being with your friends, having a good time, and defiantly not sitting on your butt. If everyone knew that was what snowboarding is really about, then there would be more of us (snowboarders).
Anyways back to my perfect day, haha well it'd probably start around 6:30 a.m. with me waking up, getting my gear all ready, and eating a really high calorie breakfast (snowboarding takes a lot out of you). Up around 7:30 or 8:00 is when I start getting all my gear and meeting my "crew" (group of snowboard buds) at my driveway. My "crew" consists of 3 to 4 people: Issac: Main bud, main motivator of the group, usually the one who pushes me to do the stupid stuff so he can see what it looks like. Colton: Trail blazer, guy who knows all the in's and out's of the resort, crazy man, always there to help start you out with a laugh. Garrett: My little bro. haha this kid is also the only skier that we allow in our group, pretty much the medicine man, trails behind to pick up any slackers that we may have. So there's the "crew" so on our way to the local resort (Sundance) we joke and kid and talk about what runs we're going to hit. 9:00 sharp. Hit. The. Slopes. That simple, immediately we start with some black diamonds and get a lot of mountaineering put in. So for about 3 to 4 hours we just shred and shred and shred and then shred some more. Around 1:00 p.m. we meet up (if we get split up) and eat lunch. At this time we're pretty worn out, but then Colton is always there to make us laugh and get us ready for the day once again. 2:00 p.m. we head back out for some more shredding, only this time we're hitting the park. And this is where Garrett usually comes in to help. Haha we're so busy on trying to see whose trick looks the best that we don't even care if we crash and cut ourselves, but luckily Garrett is there to help keep us within our bounds. so up to about 4:30 we snowboard. Then its about and hour drive back to home, and by then most of us are asleep or totally wacked out. And that is my vision of a perfect day. No amazing trips to Europe. No crazy wishful things. Just me and my buds having an awesome time just doing what we have and always will love doing. Snowboarding.
