It's Christmas Eve and definetly doesn't feel like christmas. If words could only express how hard it's been raining lately then you'd understand. But I don't think they can.
Though rain does bring 30lbs soaking wet pants and does demolish our snow base, it still brings a smile to my face. The snow is soft, the rock gaps are still doable, and only die hards are up snowboarding. This is the culture of snowboarding, the underground crew of people who's lives revolve around an obsession. This passion that struck us all at a young age is still with us today, and though some strive for physical excellence, others just enjoy the time spent alone with their board.
I challenge every one of you to stop hitting the park, just for the majority of the day, and do runs. Find those 20ft rock gaps over knolls in which you don't know if your gonna clear it or not. Find those soft steeper pitches and learn Euro carves. Find out what snowboarding originally was, and only then will you learn to appreciate snowboarding, no matter the conditions, weather, or snowbase.
