Board meeting #1 at Homewood
Type of Snow: Groomed pretty good turning okay-slightly icy..
Weather condition: Blue Sky, little wind gusts but at some periods zero wind.
Gear Used: Blue Jacket and backpack w/ very little gear..
Road condition: Clear, Smooth Sailing..
It's always a good snow day when the Medi-Vac Helicopter isn't there.
An ex coworker of mine Mark, swung by at 5:25am to head out to Homewood, land of the only boarding deal out there so far. The drive was easy, the air crisp and sun smiling on everybody. The runs were pretty good, until 2pm on the mid-mountain side, the shade came over and discerning the landscape got a bit hard. I was starting to feel the burn in my quads, and Mark is having foot issues. He wanted to board as much before seeing the orthopedic surgeon. We did about 20 runs, going all over, probably doing every run out there. My only dismay is the terrain park sux, 3 little humps, and another area containing a box and some rolling hills. What can you do with that?
On the way back we stopped at Ikedas for some Tasty Burgers. And i drove from then on, Mark wasn't feeling it. So rolling in a Honda Element AWD was cool, it had decent throttle response and good handling. The inside cabin is huge! A Cool nifty little thing.
Tommorrow i might feel it in my shoulders, i'm feeling something right now. oi!
