As predicted back in December, I didn’t get to snowboard this year. Which, to be honest, kind of sucked. When you’ve been doing a hobby for 15+ years, it’s probably something that you enjoy. And when you’ve been doing it all that time with friends you love, chances are good that you miss it even more if you stop. But life rolls on and my life isn’t at a point where I can go ride much any more.

But at least I can say I got up there once this year. It isn’t much, I know, but it’s something. And it was a really fun spring day last weekend with Davidson, Kev and Smooth. We messed around the hill like idiots, played with the slow motion video camera I brought, checked out ‘the boat’ snow cave, and generally had a grand old time. It was pretty much just like every spring day I’ve gotten to enjoy in the past. And it’s really nice to have something in your life where, even after not doing it for a while, you can step back in, knock the rust off, and still feel like your body remembers what it’s supposed to be doing. I guess photography and snowboarding are the only things in my life that I’ve got that give me that feeling. Though I can’t say I’ve ever really taken a break from photography. Still, you get the point. Anyway, it was nice to get back on the hill. Even if just for a day.

Speaking of photography, I call this photo “King of the Boat” I think you will all agree that it’s pretty awesome.
