Snowboarding

So yesterday afternoon I finished up my 3rd of 4 exams and was supposed to begin studying for my last exam but I just couldn't take it. I needed to do something other than look at my computer or pieces of paper with words on them. So I decided to head up to Blue Mountain on a whim...why not go snowboarding? Then I found out they had this great student discount. So I ended up only having to pay $19!!

It was a beautiful night and as I got up there right around sunset, the views coming down the mountain were amazing. The moon was full and the sky was clear. The mountain wasn't in the best of shape, a bit icy in some places, grainy, and not much snow. But it was still a good time. I fell a few times, hard enough to jar my back into place!

But the amazing thing was the array of items below the lifts. Gloves, poles, hats, even a shoe. It was a regular Ebay of winter gear! Too bad I was not adventurous enough to hop off the lift or head off the trail and grab them. Another interesting thing is the "bra tree." Every ski slope seems to have one tree full bras or underwear, and the occasional Mardi Gras beads, flung from the chair lifts.

Anyway, below are before and after pictures.
