Mt. Baker

I had the most amazing day at Mt. Baker! It snowed all night there and was still snowing when we got there. Our first run was pure powder up to my thighs. I learned that its very difficult to ride in powder unless you have a lot of speed and going down on one edge isn't an option. You just have to ride down and float on top. It took a while to get used to all the powder but it was probably the best snow I've ever had. Thank God I have a new board that was made just for days like today! Its such a rush to be flying down the mountain and carving new tracks in untouched snow. I even did a couple of small jumps with Rodney and Greg. *sigh* unfortunately, the season is ending soon. What am I supposed to do in the spring and summer?
