Freeride

It has been 10+ years since I've been on a snowboard and boy was it relishable. It was one of those moments where everything felt just right, the planets were aligned, conditions were perfect (not that I have any idea what perfect conditions are like) and not a tourist in sight. I also managed to score huge with a free lift ticket and free rental gear, theirs nothing like a FREE day of riding. Thank you Creative!


For a guy that hasn't been on a snowboard in years I sure did tear it up, as the Northerners call it. I only ate snow on 2 occasions, mostly due to the fact that i wasn't paying attention and the beer at lunch probably wasn't such a good idea. Aside from "tearing it up" and carving through powder, the view on the way up was majestic. Their is nothing more amazing than viewing a large portion of the Adirondack Park from above, well there might be one thing but it comes pretty fucking close.

ah, fresh powder

All in all it was a great day. On the last ride halfway down the trail I looked to my right and saw this


I'm definitely coming back before the season is over. Any takers?
