Days 1-4

So, right now I'm sitting at a puiblic library trying to fill you guys in on what's going on. As all of you knew my trip was going to start in Brian Head, UT snowboarding with Brian, Darrick and trish. Well, to evryones surprise Jonny Rocket showed up and it turned out to be a great time to be had by all. To make a long story short I spent the nihgt in Cedar City, UT and drove to colorado in the morning.
For those of you that have never taken this drive I highly recomend it and should be on the to do in life list. The views are amazing and something new comes up after every turn the freeway makes. I stopped at a scenic view turnoff and encountered some real indians selling hand made pots and bracelets. Ohh they also had tomahawks, but they were quite pricy. After talking to this very nice man for a few minutes I decided it was time to hit the road again so I couold get to my destination before sunset. That was pretty much my sunday with nothing really exciting other than the drive.
Monday was a day for snowborading so I woke up extra early so I could shower and get my gear ready to hit the mountains. I left the condo where Im staying at which is only a few minutes from Beaver Creek, which is the resort closest to me, and drove to the mountain. When I got there i was trying to be the cool out of state kid, but as soon as I started walking I hit some ice and down I went like a sack of potatoes. My day did get better when I got a call from one of the roomates (Mike) telling me that he wanted to meet up so we could ride together. He is a really good skier and it was tough keeping up with this guy, but it pushed me to do better and I got a tour of just about the whole mountain. During one of the runs I got a little distracted lost an edge and landed on my head pretty hard, my neck still hurts today from that fall. After the fall we kept ridding for a while and what takes care of pain better than anything... Beer!! A weird , but fancy bar called the Dusty Boot has PBR's from 3-5pm for $1. With prices like that Mike, his friend John and myself enjoyed about 5 each. Later on we headed back to the condo where Mike and John made dinner, which was delicious!
Tuesday we stayed in and watched the Inaguration of President Obama, but as soon as that was done we headed out for the mountain once again. Another day of ridding and enjoying the mountain until the lifts closed. Once again we headed to the Dusty Boot for some refreshment before going to taco tuesdays at Agave, which is the mexican restaurant where the other 2 roomates (Shannon and RJ) work at. Shannon is this really cool friend of Vanessa's who is letting me sleep on the couch while Im in town. After tacos there was not really much to do so we went to the rec center and enjoyed some time in the jacuzzi.
Well, I hope this gives you a small glimpse into what's going on with me and i will try to post more often and maybe make the stories alittle more exciting. I hope everyone is doing good and I can't wait to see you guys again.
