boarding @ breck

Remember the good ol’ days with the rewind button on cassette players?  [If you’re to young to know what a cassette play is…I’m going to s.c.r.e.a.m. hehehe]  Actually RWD + FWD was soooo annoying to deal with…I’ll avoid you the button pressing and get straight to the point.

Rewind ---> Arrive ---> Saturday @ Breck

I forgot I had my point n’ shoot full of photos from our day at Breckenridge on Saturday.  We had a b.l.a.s.t. Chris, Hovan and I stuck together all day, mostly in the trees.  I’m actually starting to enjoy playing in the trees!  We did get caught on one run that was a bit hairy though!

Colorado has gorgeous sunrises…yes, we were up + out the door at 6:30am to get to the mountains.  I swear it’s worth it!

Morning [cold] muesli bowl!  I made it the same as Thursday, however I left out the chia seeds.  I think my insides need a few days break from these wonder seeds… ;)  However, the consistency is SO much better with the seeds!

So, here is the run that was a bit intense.  We pretty much inched our way through.  It was SO steep + dense with trees there was literally no way you could actually ride through. 

Chris got a bit tangled, haha.  Yes, I’m laughing…it was funny.

Half way down.

I told you it was steep.  This doesn’t even really do it justice!  I went super slow and perfected my “falling leaf” routine through the trees.  [Think of leaf falling in the sky…kind of floats from side to side…well I had my board perpendicular with the mountain floating from side to side]  There was no way I was pointing straight down!
