for the love of snow (colorado)
i ♥ snowboarding
[its the only sport i'm decent at o_O]
so this past week has been hectic with work and busy season...BUT i got to go to colorado for the weekend for monica's HK studyabroad reunion snowboarding trip. yes, i was an intruder...but the more the merrier, no??
the car
the cabin
has to be the best cabin deal this season by far..
everyone on a bed, 90$ a head
standard snow cabin dealbreaker (hot tub)
the crew..
good ol' cranium fun, despite everyone's altitude sickness

the mountain...
anyway, 4 of us flew into denver at around 1130pm on friday night and arrived at the cabin at 330am...so we were pretty set on the half day at breck. so everyone else had woken up early and hit the slopes..and 3 hours later the other late arrivers & i were packin up our gear to meet everyone... except i couldn't find my boots. someone had taken my boots. i automatically assumed it was monic since we had the same boots--except for minor detail that she's a size 6 and i'm a size 7. so i wore her boots til we met up at the base of breck..and after hugs and kisses we smiled for our first photo together =D
so us three, monic, lauren, and i, headed up to the peak ;p
it was super windy and cold up there...
but gorgeous nonetheless
actually it was fuckin amazing. please excuse my french
the next day we went to loveland. much cheaper, by equally fabulous
we couldn't have asked for better weather to ride and play in..i love sunny days =D
i decided that these two ladies were probably the best snowboarding partners i've ever had--just because we're pretty much all at the same skill level and have tons of interesting stories to share on the lifts ;p
may i introduce, monica tran, the bff
and lauren usui, my newfound extremely eligible lady friend (subpar men need not apply)
and yours truly ;p
i cant wait for our 2010 trip =) whistler??
standard bathroom photo...lol

farewell photo
+ so short and sweet
+ altitude sickness suck, i felt like i had a hangover all weekend, without the drinking
+ except for on the slopes...adrenaline trumps altitude
+ i miss having girlfriends. single girlfriends. sigh
+ i hate getting my nails done at viet places because they don't think i'm viet and talk about me thinking that i don't understand. and then i feel awkward when they ask me what i am and i have to pretend like i'm not viet or i dont speak viet or i do and then i have to talk to them. ugh.
+ mammoth in x-3 days!!
