4th February, 2002. 9:15 pm. jinxed snowboard trip

Alison, Tracey, Jonathan and I went snowboarding on Saturday. I planned a non-AV snow day, but it ended up being only the 4 of us. It was lots of fun anyway. I actually go on the beginners jump now. I want to try jumps now. I'm just working on getting over the jumps without catching air. I think I caught a little air on my last run... scary, but it wasn't much air. I'm working on it. It was a very fun trip, even though it we were quite jinxed. First of all, we got there late, so we parked pretty far up the mountain (we were at the East Resort of Mt. High). Right when we got to the lift finally, Ali realized that she forgot her gloves. We decided to go on a run while Ali gets her gloves. After our first run, we find Ali and go for another 2 runs. As we go on the lift for our third run, Ali realizes that she lost her lift ticket and can't get on the lift. We go talk to an old man and he says he can't do anything about it since we didn't bring the receipt. To make matters worse, she can't just buy another ticket either because they've sold out. We have to wait til 2 before they'll sell her another ticket... this was like at 11 or so. So the three of us decide to go for another run to look for her ticket. The three of us go heel all the way down at super slow speeds to look for it. OMG it's tiring to go slow and stay on heels the whole time. And then we have no luck too! So Jonathan finds another person to talk to. He approaches a lady and says he lost his lift ticket. The lady interagates him (what time did you get here? Let me see your snowboard), then gives him another ticket. Okay, so things are picking up again, right? Well, not quite. We go on another run and on that last steep part in the East Resort, Ali gets struck by a skier, gets light headed, tumbles down the hill, and hit her head. Poor Ali... just wasn't her day. Oh yeah, to make matters worse, at the end of the day, we go back to Tracey's car to find a freakin PARKING TICKET! We've never got ticketed for parking on the mountain side. Where else do you park?! Oy... just wasn't our day. But besides that, it was mucho fun! So... lets go again! Anyone down?!

Current mood: sleepy.
