Snowboarding and Car Sliding!

Yesterday Erin and I drove to Wintergreen for some snowboarding and conditions couldn't have been more perfect....for snowboarding, not for driving. We got there around noon just as the snow began, and it got progressively heavier throughout the day. By the time we got back to my car at 8 we had to clear off about 7 inches. That much snowfall combined with the fact that the places was absolutely deserted made for the best day on the slopes I've ever had. Unfortunately it also turned what should have been a 2.5 hour drive home into a five and a half hour epic complete with brake malfunction, 15mph maximum speeds and murderous tractor trailer drivers hell bent on running us off the road. I'm exhausted today, but it was totally worth it. In fact, we plan on going back next Tuesday as well!

The car at noon...

...and at 8pm
