My birthday was April seventh of this year, shortly after my last blog post. The weekend immediately after my birthday my wife took me snowboarding. We had only gone once this winter, which is not nearly enough...at all. We went up to Copper Mountain, which is and always has been our favorite place to go. I actually proposed to Brooke there going down our favorite run on the mountain.
Anyway, we went to Copper on Saturday the ninth and enjoyed a wonderful day of poor conditions. Sure, it was nice and sunny out, but it had not snowed in about a week so the snow was very hard packed and rough to ride. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed ourselves as much as we could and made the best out of it. We came home that night and went out to a nice dinner with my parents the next night.
Easter Sunday was the last day Copper was open; Brooke and I needed to get at least one more day in, hopefully with better conditions. We went up to Copper on Friday the twenty second and stayed with my cousin so that we could be right on the mountain Saturday morning. We woke up around eight on Saturday morning and became overjoyed when we looked out the window and saw that it was snowing. We we so pumped to be able to finish the season out riding some powder and having snow to push around. It was most definitely the most fun I had riding in the spring.
Unfortunately, many things right here in the United States are in disarray. Over the past couple weeks tornadoes have torn through much of our country and hundreds have lost their lives. I am thankful that all my loved ones are safe and sound, but my prayers go out to all those that have been effected by this tragedy. I hope you are one day able to find peace and know that those you love are in a better place without natural disasters, war, pain, and death.
