Rich, Manuel, and I went snowboarding this last weekend at Stevens Pass. Awesome.
The coolest part was that on the back side of the mountain (specifically, down the Gemini run) clouds engulfed everything and took visibility to under 100', in places. The shot at right wasn't even the worst of it, and you can barely see the base of the power lines that were definitely less than 200' off. This picture was taken at something like 10am.
Unfortunately, the day started off a little crappy: I bashed my knee in getting off the first chair lift, and Manuel lost his lift ticket the only time he wiped out on the first run. D'oh. At least the rest of the day was totally sweet.
Oh, and we spotted this in the parking lot, too. You'll note that because this box was for an edible g-string, it included nutritional facts on the back. Thanks, FDA!
P.S. Um...it appears I can't upload pictures to my web host at the moment. Ignore the broken links until I fix them.
P.P.S. Nevermind. It's fixed now.
Despite "ow my knees" and "ticket? what ticket?" moments, it was really fun stuff.
Whistler has some amazing spring deals in April, in case you and Ricardo want to finish the season Canadian (bacon) style.
