Too MUCH Snow? No Such Thing!

07.01.09 - Wednesday

Today’s Mission: Snowboard at Copper Mountain.

Mission: Completed.
Although, not gonna lie, I was a little worried at the beginning of the day… Because we got to sit in some wonderful traffic for about an hour. The worst part about it? Copper Mountain was a mere 5280 feet away from where our car was sitting at a stand still. Yes. One mile. I was so incredibly tempted to get out & start walking.


Turned out I-70 was closed from the Copper exit onwards due to inclement weather. Sucks for all you Vail skiers! Bwahaha.

The good side of all this snow?? The POWDER! Woo!

Seriously. The most powder I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying in my life. (Thanks so much Global Warming!) It made for some amazingly soft landings when one wiped out. Although, come on, like I EVER fall… But for the ONE time I did today, it was the most comfortable and splendid ‘trip’ downhill I’ve ever experienced.

Such a great day. Especially since I was spending it with my padre & little bro-ha!

This is my "Oh my goodness! There's SO much snow!" face. Ha.

This must be what it feels like to live in a snow globe. :)
