Day 9: Happy Thanksgiving!
A happy Thanksgiving indeed! We got a little bit of snow. Breckenridge reported 6″ and A-Basin reported 4″. The most I’m aware of is Snowmass reporting 12″ - very nice. I hit A-Basin this morning for a while. The riding was alright until the crowds started moving in. I’m finally getting my feet back under me. Today I noticed a considerable increase in my level of comfort. I’ve been taking it easy, working on my style, and avoiding crashing on the thin layer of hard pack. Today was the first day I felt comfortable hitting a few little kickers and getting some air. When we get a little more padding laid down, I’ll start getting a lot more aggressive.
In the parking lot, I couldn’t help but notice a lifted Isuzu Vehicross. I’m keen on these odd little vehicles. They aren’t particularly awesome off-road vehicles. They’re not particularly awesome on-road vehicles either. The Vehicross is an odd hybrid that never hit mass appeal. Still, I think they look slick, particularly when they’re modded up. If nothing else, they do stand out.
Today I found my mind running through a variety of thoughts. I spent a long time thinking about SnowTripping and how I need to jump back on that project. I’ve let it sit for way too long. On the drive home from the mountain, I also kinda wondered what the weather was like today in Costa Rica.
