Happy Birthday to my Mom today! She would be turning the big 60 if she were still around, which I'm pretty sure she is because it was a beautiful bluebird day at Squaw, lots of fresh, deep powder to shred, and the sun was beaming down. I'm pretty certain that was thanks to her.
Snowboarding is definitely a great way to burn calories! My legs are beat after moving around that much powder! The trick at Squaw on a Saturday is to try and avoid the gapers...aka Guaranteed Accident Prone on Every Run! I did unfortunately have an unavoidable collision with one gaping Bay-area klutz, but it was not too bad for a weekend-warrior day. Rachel (my besty) and I were able to make it to Silverado just before they opened the flood gates. It's pretty intense to witness the herds rush down for fresh lines at Squaw when a new run is open. All in all, a successful Saturday of snowboarding.
Well, I just wanted to give a shout out to my Mom on her birthday! The photo attached is of the two of us shredding the gnarly powder at Heavenly just a few months before she passed. She was a rock-star, obviously. I'm off to walk Ted then do some stretching at A Sante this afternoon. I've gotta keep these worn-out legs from getting too sore!
Your mom was such a beautiful woman, Jenny, and I love the picture! She's smiling down on you!
