rolled on up yonder way with kate today in to foggy abyss of goldcreek. with pockets of fog and not, i stuck with ol faithful bowl again and headed out..
i found  a new trail  yesterday with swappy that was super fun so we rallied that way thru to prezzzidents bowl and wham.. no fog.. got in, breaked.. wham.. fog drifts.. pretty much kept that up for a couple hours.. good, bad, decent good bad, etc..
 
discussin the next mission.. sled runs up thru the gunch? hmmm, nawww not yet... hmmm, i got a snowboard.. lets do our thinkins.. hmmm, "ok" she says, "i go do the snowboard" , "never done it before but it looks fun!" fuck yeah! rip it. if you get hurt we can always hit the warming hut.. uhhwink..
