We were all excited about this day trip because it'd been snowing a lot early in the week, but then it heated up by the time we got there.
- Date(s): Saturday, December 11th, 2004.
- Who: Me, Trisha, E-ming, Rick.
- The snow certainly could have been better. The groomers were alright, but in the trees it was crusty in the morning thanks to overnight freezing, but anywhere the blazing morning sun shone quickly turned to an annoying slush.
- It probably hit about 50, which once again called for a fleece in the morning, which I took off in the afternoon. Yay spring skiing in December!
- It was so annoyingly hot that I convinced E-ming to go play in the mini-park with me, and we spent all afternoon taking videos. I'll upload them or something sooner or later, but that's a lower priority than Europe pictures.
- And that was basically the day. At this rate, I'm probably not going to go back up before January.

To make up for last season's abrupt termination, it
started snowing early and Kirkwood was able to open in like
October this year. But I wasn't ready to go up at that point,
and I barely managed to make it up for a day in mid-November.
- Date(s): Sunday, November 14th
- Who: Me, Mike, Eming, and we met Tyler at the mountain. We also ran
into Binky on the mountain.
- I forgot how terrible getting up at 4:30 in the morning for snowboarding was (especially since I went to sleep at like 2 am the night before), but once I got on the mountain it was alright. It was an annoyingly warm day, so I just wore my fleece instead of my real jacket, because my jacket is way too heavy -- I need to get a shell that I can wear as a top layer over other layers...
- The snow actually wasn't too terrible for being so early season, and I got my jumping legs back pretty quickly -- I was jumping off most of the things I was jumping off of at the end of last season, with very little hesitation. It was exciting. By the end of the day, I'd managed to land a few more 180s -- landing a single 180 was the big thing I accomplished at the end of last season, so being able to pick up on day one right where I left off last season felt good.
- And uh, that's about all I remember. That's what I get for going to Europe before writing this.
- Day trip tomorrow.

How the hell d... Oh, actually, those are all good questions, but what I really wanted to know is "how the hell does this thing work?"
