CB Closing Day 09

If you journey back 358 (not a full week, thanks to CBMR's closing one week earlier policy) days to last year's Closing Day, you will remember that it was a day filled with drunken debauchery and fun. Sadly, thanks to some less than friendly weather, and the lack of apparent festive functions happening across the mountain (other than some super lame "fireworks" at Paradise) pretty much spelt out a day of shredding for us. Luckily, other than being mashed potato-ey and kinda slushy, the snow was pretty good. It was soft, and coverage was pretty decent, especially for being April 5th.
I met up with Ben early in the morning, and we went and picked up our buddy Forrest and Ben's buddy Mike, who turns out is a pretty good snowboarder. Forrest is still learning but is game enough to follow us around the mountain and try it at least! I don't know Mike's last name yet, but rest assured I will post as soon as I do......

And now with ski season on its way out (its not over yet, as there is still a trip or two to Loveland up my sleeve.....) the kayak filming should hopefully begin in earnest, so stay tuned!
