Perfect Day

Today was probably the most perfect snowboarding day I've ever had. It snowed heavy 2 days ago and so few people are up here it STILL isn't tracked out. We got run after run of fresh powder on a perfectly sunny spring day. You could see all the surrounding Sierras with unlimited visibility. Later in the day dark clouds rolled in over most of the surrounding peaks, but still didn't seem to affect lower visibility. Rode with Rusty, Tom J. Doug, Steve C., Brad from Nitro and others who I'd meet up with then lose throughout the day. Mostly rode with Rusty and Tom. Started taking more cornice drops and natural rock drops today, feeling more comfortable than ever before. I was able to keep up with Steve C. and Rusty all day even though they're way more seasoned of riders then I am. For the most part I took all the same drops and jumps they did and mostly matched their speed. I felt totally comfortable doing it too. There were lots of great stories, and 'incidents' today, like Steve C. going to the hospital to get stitches in the gash that brads board laid into the back of his leg, but in the end it was near the perfect day.
