Snoi-boarding again. I took it REALLY easy this day since I was still hurting, but I was so pissed about missing such a perfect opportunity with friends. We only went boarding a couple of runs with Nick, but at least I made it down the mountain without any major disasters.

By the end of the day I was actually able to link turns, too. 

The view from where we were was amazing. Snow-capped mountains surrounding a huge valley of warm brown hills. It reminded me of one of my favorite trip ever, the 2007 Dgrin Shootout to Glacier National Park, when we drove up to Waterton for an afternoon.

Just a little secret, I really, really hate being bad at something. A huge thanks to Nick, one of the best people I will ever know, for being so patient with my grumbling self!

I always forget to reset the time zone on my cameras. Anyway, today I had to work but in the afternoon Trav, Shiz, Kevin and I went out to the Emerald Bay area to scout. The sunset was so beautiful, even though it didn't make for good photos. The mountains around us were too tall to produce too much in the way of great shots down where we were (Eagle Falls) but I couldn't help but look up at the rocky crags and remember a perfect day not all that long ago when the sun was kissing the tops of the peaks in Zion National Park. 

That alone gave me a sense of peace and familiarity.

I've lost my landscape mojo, but it was great to be out. I love this company, and my company, but stepping away from the indoors was really necessary for a short time.

Today, since I was unable to go back to the slopes due to a boarding injury, Trav and I spent the morning exploring the town of South Lake Tahoe. It really sucked not being able to enjoy the snow like the rest of SmugMug was, but while I'm stubborn, I'm not suicidal. We had a great time poking around the tacky little shops and freezing our fingers as we scurried from place to place. On a Monday morning, things were a little quiet which was great. We also had lunch at a little cafe, enjoying the coziness and the friendliness of this resort town.

I can't wait to come back. And we both promise that the next time this trip happens, we won't suck so much at snowboarding!
