This morning when I woke up I was greeted with grey skies and high winds. Not always the best sign when you are expecting to go up the mountain. I knew it must have been bad because when I looked out the window I could not see the beauty of Mt. Hood. Thankfully there is the internet and sure enough when I went to the Timberline website to check out their webcams all I saw was grey on three of the five cams and wet lenses on the other two. I came to the conclusion that I was not going up riding today.
I am looking forward to a day off snow. The past four days have been long, especially yesterday, but I have been taking a lot in. Yesterday was the best day. Although the weather was not as good as it has been, the pipe had a fresh cut on it and I was able to put together some great contest runs. After riding I went to the Town of Hood River to do some shopping and have a very enjoyable dinner with good friends. That night I headed over to the Page’s house where they were accommodating me. We had some great conversations about snowboarding and life. It was fresh to meet good people with wholesome values. I am grateful to have them as friends now.
But today is catching up day for me. Being in transit I missed an opportunity to write about my adventures. So, I found some internet and got to work. Not too much going on other then emailing and going to the gym followed by a big stretching session. Today I get to balance out the high intensity training I have been doing with some reflection. These days are equally as important as on snow days. The Page’s farm style log home and great hospitality provides the perfect environment to relax and get extra work done. Thanks so much to Jenny, Marcia, Jeremy and John for helping out a fellow snowboarder and just being amazing people.
