Mammoth HO!

tomorrow i finally finally FINALLY FINALLY!!!! get to try out my new snowboard!! i only got it 2 whole months ago! but i must wait no longer. the day has finally come. it's time for my yearly pilgrimage to Mammoth Mountain.

this is my 4th last-weekend-in-January trip in a row, with many many more to come.

that is, of course, if my friends and i survive the 4-12 hour trek up there. just our luck, this year our trip has to coincide with one doozey of storm. which makes for some kick-ass skiing!...but sucky driving. but we're goin' anyway.

i've already warned my friends that if we get stranded on some mountain pass, 8,000 feet above sea level -- i WILL eat them. like the Donner Party.

NOT like the Lemon Party.

but if it's a choice between freezing to death and doing that, well...my arm might be twisted.

til next time...
