Bye Bye Vacation!

Hello Crew!

Today as a last hurrah before school starts on Wednesday I hit the slopes for the first time this season. Last year I managed to get out once but it was so spur of the moment that I ended up renting all my gear and borrowing outer wear. This time around I had my board newly serviced, new gloves, and the whole hill practically to ourselves. We never had to wait in line for a chair lift and had almost perfect weather (give or take a little wind). My only complaint was that there could've been more snow. Quite a few patches were icy. Not impossible to board on but just loud and scrapes up your board.

No place like the Rockies

It felt amazing to be on the hill but I am wiped out now. Last Friday I ran 5 km and yesterday I ran for 45 minutes including hill training (got something in the works but before I announce it I have to wait for some clearance). Regardless I was sore before I even did up my bindings. Suffice it to say, I will sleep well tonight.

Tomorrow I head back to Lethbridge with my roommate and the new semester starts the next day. I already have meetings with my independent study supervisor booked so no denying it any longer. Vacation is over!

Here we go.
