It was kind of a rash decision, but the Friday
before Springbreak, Martin, Micky, Brett and I decided to go snowboarding (and
for me skiing). We left around 3 PM, right after our classes, and arrived at Mad
River Mountain less than an hour later. After
getting dressed in the car, Micky and I left to get a pass for the lifts and to
rent a snowboard and skis. When everyone was ready, Brett left for the stunt
park and the rest left for the slopes.
Because Micky was pretty new to snowboarding, we started at the green slopes. He was not even that bad, but let his fear get the best of him. This meant that he was going slower than Martin and I were intending to go. Because of this, we left him after a couple of rounds. We did some harder slopes and after that, left for the stunt park as well.
Later on, we all ran into each other again and decided to warm up a little and get a drink. I bought new gloves because it was -15*C and after that, we continued snowboarding & skiing.
At 8.30 PM, the slopes closed for an hour to get repaired. Everyone went inside the bar/ restaurant for dinner and waited it out. After this break we all went to the stunt park, after almost 2 hours and promising him a * of the year award, finally got Micky to grind. We stayed on the slopes until 2 AM, after which we went back to campus.
