home at last and sore muscles x2

ahhh! it was another great day to snowboard.

our day started at around 9:30 am and this was outside our room.




we went to heavenly ski resort. i did not get to take pictures of us snowboarding as much as yesterday, for i was practicing my toe edge and perfecting the art of face planting, somersaults, and head banging on the ground multiple times. ofcourse i won't be diong this without some gear to protect my head.

we are going for our last run of the day and there is a part of the trail that you need to gain as much speed as you can so that you won't get stuck at a relatively flat area of the trail, and boy! good thing i was wearing a helmet.

i went down the trail and gained the speed that i needed and was on my toe edge then suddenly, my edge dug in to the snow and next thing i know, i was eating snow and banging my head on the ground big time and that knocked out the wind out of me and i was laying on the ground for about 5 sec. a ski patrol who was on the lift saw me wipe out and asked me if i was ok, i said "yea, i'm ok" and he said, "i've seen that kind of wipe out before and most beginers (in this case me) won't be able to get up and will be needing a medic". but i got up, shook it off then proceded at the fork on the trail were i found dugh having fun in the snow.



i had an awesome time despite of the face planting and all, i would do it al over again. now i must rest and crash. thanks dugh! for driving to tahoe.
