The day wasn’t exactly the greatest weather to rip up the mountain in, but there was plenty of new, soft, powdery snow to fall on (Lucky Marissa). The weather at the mountain was hecka windy and cold. We toughed it out and rocked our own socks off. Sometimes our fingers or toes went numb.
Sadly we were both with different instructors and groups until it was time to free ski or snowboard. Marissa got to go snowboarding with Jordan. To bad for Marissa, she had to stay on the bunny slopes (So did Juan). Jordan didn’t really try to make her better, but instead he stayed with the less experienced beginners. She got to just snowboard down the hill as much as she pleased, but one time when she was snowboarding down, she fell and got her board stuck in the powdered snow. She also almost ran into the pole when she got blown by the wind. Marissa got to roll in the snow a few times (Wahoo!!!).
I got to go with Harmey who took me on the bigger slopes. At first we had a test run on the bunny slopes to see who would be in the more advanced group. I got to go with the more experienced boarders. We worked our way up to the bigger slopes. When I was snowboarding down I got to eat a butt load of snow. That was not as fun as it sounds (But it was delicious). Harmey kept telling me that I should toe turn, but I was sort of tired of the taste of snow. One time Jacob went on the wrong trail so our group had to go the same way, and we lost one of our group members. We found her during lunch on our way to the cafeteria. I had a blast, even though I was almost always last.
Since Marissa and Juan were in the same group they arrived at lunch first. They were buying from the cafeteria (EXPENSIVE). Marissa and Juan bought their lunches together and it came out to be $25.33. They bought 2 pieces of pizza, fries, and two drinks. Then I arrived (UGGGH said Marissa). All we did was eat and drink (Beer just kidding). After we got full (Full of beer) Marissa had to fix her snowboard pants. While she was in the restroom Juan and I hid from her. It took her awhile to find us. Dumb, Christa told her where we were. Juan and I thought she was taking a dump because she was taking so long. It turns out she was fixing her hair (OMG what a girly girl). Then we headed down to get all our stuff and headed for the lifts.
After lunch we got to free ski or board. We both went with our friend Juan. We were only allowed to go on the bunny slopes, because you are only allowed to go on the slopes that your instructor took you on during the lesson. We still had lots of fun racing to the bottom of the hill. Marissa came in 1st place because she’s so good (Just Kidding she got 3rd). Juan got 2nd and I think we know who won (If you didn’t get it, it was ME. STUPID).
After the race we sort of had a snowball fight. We went down into the woods but it was so steep that we took our bindings off. Marissa (the blonde) was slipping so she decided to stop herself by stepping on the stomp pad when she only had one binding on. This is how she popped her hip, but she was okay (I was hoping it broke). We finally got to a spot where we sat down right next to the trail. The first thing we did was lay there and talk. Then we buried Marissa (I was again hoping she would get hurt). I decided to walk around in the three ft high snow. A Mammoth instructor saw us and thought we were stuck and we told him we were fine, so he left. We decided to get out of there before one of the Lone Pine instructors saw us. That was the end of our semi-snowball fight.
Marissa thought that she was holding back me and Juan so she went to go find Maggie (first time snowboarder). When she found her she decided to go in. These were the ten most boring minutes of her life. Juan and I raced on a couple more runs just for fun. One time we raced my brother and Gregory, but we lost by a lot. After all that nonsense happened we started getting cold so we went inside to find Marissa. We found her upstairs with Preston. Marissa suggested we go down and look at the stores. I sort of didn’t want to, but it turned out to be really fun.
Marissa, Juan, and I were messing around with the clothes and stuff. When we all got to the back of the store we saw a whole bunch of snowboards and we were just talking about how this board is better than that one. Marissa was more interested in putting a whole set of stuff together. For example she might have said that she wanted a black board, blue bindings, white goggles, yellow pants, and a pink helmet. Juan was taking pictures of them with his phone to show his mom went he got back and asked her if he could get a snowboard( his mom might let him get one online. LUCKY). I knew my parents’ answer would probably be no and even if they did consider it, my mom would shower me with questions. Marissa’s mom said she could possibly get one for Christmas if she contributed at least a little money. It would be pretty cool to have a snowboard of my own, but oh, well. Marissa also really wants one.
We spent our last 30 minutes in the store and getting our stuff together. When we were in the basket room a guy from Mammoth thought Marissa was 15 and I was 14. He thought I was tall (I’m almost the shortest one in my class. I don’t know what he’s smoking.). We had a lot of fun on the mountain and in the store. On the way back I don’t know what happened because both I and Marissa were asleep and Juan was way in the back. That’s about it for that snowboarding trip.
