Just got back from Crystal Mountain where I had my first run of the season---boy, it felt great. Snowboarding came back to me a lot faster than I expected...it helped that Justin was learning to snowboard so I could board conservatively next to him. But by the end of the day, the whole big group of us all went down together from the top, including Justin...so it was awesome. The snow was a little packed so conditions weren't optimal...but there was a ton of snow and it was a lot of fun. I love being out in the snowy mountains during this time of year---it's so beautiful. It definitely confirms why I love living out here so much.
