Big Bear

This weekend I was conflicted. To go to Big Bear and try my hand at snowboarding or to head over to Santa Barbara with my team for a weekend tourney. I ended up going to Big Bear just because I'm not a ditcher and there's nothing to regret.

Let's just say the trip didn't start off too well, our bus was an hour late, broke down for 2 hours and I think we pretty much annoyed everybody on the bus (ha ha ha, I take credit for that). The log cabin was beautiful, and it was so much prettier than I expected to be. This is how I would like weekend getaways to unfold, with a little drama a little surprise and then a whole lot of chilling. We woke up really early to prepare for the day of skiing/snowboarding, but not before me, Steph and Sam braved the early morning chills to catch the sun rise. It was one of those days again, where the day just got brighter everytime you looked up, just because the sun was rising from behind the mountains. But it was all good, the slopes looked so pristine and beautiful, it was pretty damn magical.

You know how they say there's always this one person who speeds down the mountain and doesn't know how to brake? Yeah... that person was me. By the end of the day my whole body was sore, from falling on my arms, falling on my butt, landing on my tummy, my head feeling a little concussed from the multiple small falls and the huge one at the end. I love it. Not the aching, but the thrill of it all. Let's hope I gather some more money to go for another weekend at Big Bear or even Mammoth. We'll see.

I couldn't have asked for a better to have my first experience with. We all headed back to the cabin after a long day and one by one ended up lying on the bed till it was pretty much an orgy. Totally hilarious. and then when SOMEONE tries to freakin tickle my foot!??!?!?!?!!? Also, can I say how cute are our cups? It started with yuj writing "man evie" on my cup and I'm like OH HELL NO he is not getting away with it. And then the creative juices just started flowing from this awesome brain and our red cups were born, heh.
