Fejas Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Yeah, it snowed... I was watching it come down at 6:30 in the am, right before I passed out new years morning. Partying like rock stars comes close to discribing the evenings events. So at the crack of noon Red and I decide to go and get our selves some of the blissful yogean snow. In other words go out to the sticks and ski on 8in of wet slush and down a low angle hill to boot. Now those are some hard ass ski bums if you ask me! So now we stagger up into the backyard. We think we are really cool by the way... So up the hill we go and Red is having a hard time keeping the vomit from coming up and out his mouth. Stoping to have a beer we gaze apon the snow covered valley. Now we did build a decent jump, but Red can't do tricks, and he obviously can't work a camera, because all the pics were blury or I wasn't even in them! He did manage to click off one as we packed up for the intence low angle decent. I was prety scared during the drop in, but once we got down a ways it wasn't so bad. All and All it was another fine Yogean day... Cheers Quote
