Andrea and I went Snowboarding last night at Brighton Ski Resort. It was the first time either of us had ever been night skiing. I had heard from friends that it was awesome and once I went night skiing I would look for every opportunity to go again. They were totally right. It was amazing!
It was a great time for us to get some more snowboarding time in before we move back to Texas. It was great because by the end of the night I felt like I was able to get all the way down the hill without falling, or snowplowing the whole time.
Yesterday the ski resort got 26″ of snow so there was a significant amount of powder. It was snowing the entire time we were on the hill. By the time we got to the summit we were snowmen, simply covered in snow. It was very fun to carve through the thick powder and most of the time I couldn’t see the top of my board because there was so much snow on it. I was afraid that I would cause an avalanche because every time I cut really hard against the mountain a huge wave of powder would fly out from beneath my board and go tumbling down the mountain. There were a few times however that we got into trouble. Once Andrea and I got stopped on a big flat part and even though we were still strapped to our boards we had sunk into the snow up to our knees. Then I unstrapped from my board and sunk into the snow up to my groin. I am a pretty tall guy, but that is a lot of snow.
Overall it was awesome and we will definitely be back soon.
