Weekend of snowboarding

With Mary out at the movies on Friday night I hunkered down at home and tuned my snowboards, and watched a documentary about Troy Bayliss. Any documentary about motorcycle racing that is narrated by Ewan McGregor must be pretty good right? Saturday, I ventured over to my friend Kevin's house and met up with him and his buddy Rich. We headed out to Hunger mountain and slogged our way up. It was a long haul, and I would have really suffered if I didn't have the both of them breaking trail for me the whole way up. Riding down was a blast. There was quite a bit of fresh snow, and some great lines through the trees. We hung out for a bit back at Kevin's house and then I hopped back home to have a quick shower and go out to dinner with Mary and our friend Angela. We had a great dinner at Sweetwaters, and then home for some much needed sleep.

Today, Mary and I went snowboarding at Sugarbush. We rode an afternoon half day at Mount Ellen. The snow was good, but the powder was well ridden and the choppy conditions were a challenge for Mary. She handled it well and added another skill to her repertoire. We watched some movies on netflix and now it is time for bed..
