After low key weekends and weekends full of work, I am kind of a little too thrilled to get out into the city for an event on a Friday.
I admit too, that I am most excited to see the locations where the film is shot, as opposed to the particular tricks and skills of those being filmed.
One of the amazing things about snowboarding, for me, is that when you're on the mountain - you're on a mountain.
It is bitter cold outside, your Vitamin D is low, and you miss the beach and all those pretty times outdoors that the fall brought you. But instead of complaining, you have an outlet.
Last year I went riding maybe 14 or 15 times, fewer than I wanted. Nevertheless, we're talking about roughly 48 hours of time - two days straight - where I was in nature, in winter, when I otherwise would have wanted to be in bed.
Snowboarding brought me to Glenwood Springs, this amazing little town north of Denver, and to gorgeous views of Mount Sopris that I would never lived to see had I not gone there to ride.
Whether or not we're outdoorsy people, I think their is something sublimely healthy about spending time in the sun, among rocks, hills, trees and earth. For all that snowboarding has given me - a sense of fun, time for fitness, and the companionship of fellow riders, the reason I started and the reason I'll likely keep going is to visit new places, see new beauty, and experience new heights.
