2007

ended on a wonderful note. i just got back from thrashing Lutsen the last few days. a couple of my brother's pals got a cabin for new years and asked if we wanted in. it sounded sweet so we tagged along. as it turned out the cabin was right on lake superior. i mean the lake was our back yard. it was awesome. the weather was perfect too. it was overcast and lightly snowing both days we were boarding and it wasn't too cold. the conditions were good, but late in the day it got kind of icy, but over all good. i was hoping for it to snow a bunch one of the days to get my fix of powder but it just wasn't in the cards.
i went to Lutsen last season too, but we went earlier in december and there weren't too many runs open. but this weekend, almost all of them were open, so i got to board a lot of new runs i didn't get to last year.
my brother is a noob at snowboarding. we went to afton alps once before Lutsen, so he was having a rough time at first but he got the hang of it. it was only us two boarding the second day. by mid day on the second day he was boarding double black diamonds with me.
and why is the food in chalets so damn expensive?! i bought 3 snickers and it cost me six bucks!! that's two bucks a snickers! one guy in front of me in line that afternoon bot a bowl of chili, a bottle of water, and a basket of fries...$21. redonkulous. our first night there, a band was playing in a bar so we decided to check it out. it was 6 bucks a beer!! good thing we decided to drink before we went out drinking.
anyway, money aside, the year ended in style. another year gone by way to fast.
