this was the first morning i’ve worn my down jacket to work. it hit a record low of 38 degrees this morning in Oakland…. it’s been pretty freaking cold since that storm came in over Thanksgiving. (yeah yeah, shut up Erik - i know Chicago is colder…but this is sunny calif. ;-))

we went to Northstar this past weekend, and it was the first time i’d had to put chains on my car. even with the chains, when lanes were merging, i hit a patch of ice and spun my car in a 180. it was a relatively controlled spin though and i managed to get off to the side of the road slowly and without any injury (to car or passengers). we left the house at 6:30am, and didn’t get to start boarding until noon…. but it was worth the excrutiatingly long drive up - the powder was amazing. at one point we were riding through the powder in the trees with the powder up to our thighs!

what a blast. can’t wait to go back up again.

just found out that i did indeed get onto an EBWL team, and we’re starting play this thursday! woohoo… winter ultimate, baby!
