Well it's been a month since I've updated last. I still don't have a working laptop so I can't really update as much as I'd like at the moment. I'm hopefully gonna be getting a Macbook for my birthday next month, so I'll be updating at least twice a week then. I miss my laptop soooo much! The Dell will be tossed off of a cliff somewhere.
Another thing I miss is SNOW. It flurried here on Beech Mtn yesterday and I was extremely happy to see snow. Snowflakes always make me smile cuz the first thing that comes to mind is snowboarding. There's still a good little pile of snow on one of the trails at Beech so Dustin and I might go try to set up a rail or something tomorrow. I have a TON of pics and videos of our spring slush sessions that I wanna post, but no laptop = no pics and edits :(
If you're still shredding, more power to ya! Some resorts are still open and will be open for another month or so. Lucky lucky riders! Here in NC we are lucky to stay open thru mid-March.
Happy Shredding Everyone!!
Until next time... peace!

Season Recap
Wow... it's been a hell of a season! Plenty of snow and good weather, lots of business on the mtn, good grooming and snow conditions... all that and more have made this the best season ever. I've progressed alot in the park and my switch riding. I can hit a RAIL now, yes, a RAIL! haha. If it wasn't for the little homemade rail that we made over the summer, it probably would've never happened. I braved up and hit a battleship and a flat down flat rail. Go me! :) I'm still iffy on bigger jumps. Perfected my 180's and even landed a couple 3's towards the end of the season. I feel really comfy on boxes now. Boardslides and lip slides are a peice of cake. Buttering is SO much fun. I can get 3 rotations before I start feeling a lil dizzy and set my nose down. Definitely my best progression year so far!
Whenever I get my laptop fixed, or on a computer that I can upload vids and pics, I'll have a nice lil edit of the season to post.
But it's not over yet... the chairlifts may be closed down, but the snow is still there. Last week we set up a flat box and a butter box, and yesterday we helped some peeps build a quarterwall, couple jumps, a massive battleship t-box, flat rail, and a flat down rail. Rain is in the forecast, but the next sunny day we'll be shreddin' it up! Gotta make it last while we can!

Bad News...
...my laptop has died. I'm in the process of getting it fixed or getting a new one, so I won't be able to update much until that problem has been solved :(
As for some good news, Beech Mountain is getting DUMPED on as I type this. Lots of fluffy pow to enjoy in the morning.
Much love & happy shredding!!

Update
Cheers to a new year, new friends, and new experiences. It's been a while since I've blogged so I figured I'd let everyone know what's happenin' on the mountain!
A couple weeks into the season I took a spill on the rainbow box and banged my shin up pretty good. I can still ride, but I'm holding off on any park riding until it gets a little better. Don't wanna risk making it worse.
Holiday season has come and almost gone. Beech has been SUPER busy and as a result ski school has sold a ton of lessons, which is good for me because that means $$$! I'm saving up to take my AASI Level 1 in February. Maybe after I get that 'certification' then Dustin and I can close the season out at a different mountain.
Weather has been very cooperative this season so far. We got dumped on and mother nature left us with a couple feet of powder. The temps have remained below freezing for the most part since that storm so we still have a ton of snow everywhere, plus it snowed a few inches last night :) I love snow. Just not subzero temperatures.
The 3rd Rail Jam is coming back on Jan 23rd, so if you're in the area, swing by Beech Mountain Resort and check out the fun festivities!
