You think it'll be better this season than last season?
fasterinfall:
hard to say. we're getting good snowfall right now. I think Breck got 28" this week. We're getting good storms this week so opening day at Vail shouldn't be too icy.

did yoga today for the first time in over a year. i am weak as fuck, but determined to keep it up as my abused back feels much better.

i was a little worried waking up yesterday to start the last leg of the drive. there was a winter storm warning for the mountains and snow was in the forecast from 6am through the late night. i was really really dreading the thought of spending another night NOT in my bed.

got in the car and started the drive, made it about 30 miles...

mmmmm

on a snow/driving related note:
I hate carless drivers especially when it comes to snow. I was taking my bestie up to the mountain to teach her how to board... We ended up getting caught in a blizzard. I was driving my dads truck which isn't the best snow vehicle, it's a small 4wd truck but the tires are shit. So I was being extra cautious driving down the pass and I had people passing me (I was keeping right so they could) and these jackoff's in their lifted trucks & jeeps were flying down passing me. What happens when I get to the bottom? Oh yeah they're flipped to the right side. Both a jeep and a truck; I had to just shake my head and laugh.

gotta love idiots.

Drive safe the rest of the way. I used to love driving into the mountains in the morning.

going to a wedding in naperville tonight. i had really wanted to bring a date to this one since i'll pretty much only know the bride and groom. its a little tough to bring a non girlfriend date all the way from colorado though so i'm going alone. i figure i'll get drunk, have some fun, and pass out in my hotel.

looking forward to...

well one of my dad's favorite movies is Blazing Saddles so this will be right up his alley. my Grandpa also loves Borat.

I will totally come and do that if I can tongue.

That regret you have is exactly why I went. I knew that if I were to miss it I would regret it for the rest of my life. I did it for my own sanitybiggrin
