Yeah man! It's one of the reasons I moved out here. I loved living in the city and I miss it a lot, especially just being able to walk out the door and skate, but here it's a lot better for my head. I can literally walk out my door and hike up the mountain; which I do sometimes but a short drive does make it a lot more bearable haha.
And yeah, doggo definitely helps! He's another reason we're out here.
The worst is when you get a little speed and you hit a solid wet patch (sounds like it was all that wetness, really) and your board soaks the water all up and you are done lol
Hahah yeah that was pretty much it the whole way down. At first I had to just go straight and get into the bootpack eventually. As soon as it started to flatten out I tried to scoot a little and looked at my base and it was done for. I imagine it was probably like that the whole way down haha. Hike was worth it but if I could do it again I wouldn't have even brought my snowboard..
Hell yeah on the community! I'm gonna join. I actually think I saw a post of yours recently and it had the tag or whatever you call it. I was going to check it out but then something came up, I forget what, and I left my computer and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
