    Ahahahaha that is... well that is certainly a story, WL.

    The amazing part is that neither my dad or I learned about the part with the cops until a week or so later.
    I guess they parked at the beginning of the cul de sac and, in bulletproof gear with riot masks, proceeded to walk down the street telling people to get back into their houses.

    We were just watching TV the whole time.

    camping is pretty rad, too

    one of the few really good memories of spending time with my dad was camping out in the Oregon wilderness, splittin logs for firewood and swimming around in a spring.

    Today was opening day at Alyeska, so I went skiing! It was pretty much white ribbon of death, only lower mountain open. But there were a couple of small ungroomed areas that got opened during the day, so I got a few pow turns in.

    Anyways, it was awesome, I've missed skiing so very much. At the end of the day I started trying to teach myself to ski switch, it was hilarious I'm sure to anyone watching.

    Also fuck snowboarding.

    why don't you cry more about it

    Hiking is definitely something I enjoy, but am rarely able to do. There aren't a lot of feelings out there better than sitting down at the end of the trail after several hours.

    The only guy I knew who thought skiing was vastly superior to snowboarding was a total prat with a french name and a superiority complex.

    I don't actually think skiing sucks or anything like that, but its difficult for me not to remember the way he would bitch about "boarders taking up the slopes," almost as much as he bitched about Mexicans.

    Like I said, kind of a prat.

    it's not as fun at first, probably

    because with snowboarding, after that first day (which everyone spends basically entirely on their butt) you can go basically where you want, breeze through the easy parts, and slide down anything that scares you

    skiing is like... you won't fall down as much on the first day, but falling down on skis is always more uncomfortable than falling on a board, so while you're still a beginner it's hard to be entirely comfortable

    but in the long run, it becomes so rewarding

    maaaan I miss skiing.

    Holy shit, I was actually just going to make this thread. Weird.

    I have all my requirements for my degree fulfilled, so next semester I'm taking advantage of my school's recreation program. They have this thing called the CORE program, which is an acronym for some stupid bullshit or another.

    Point is it's basically a semester's worth of courses in wilderness survival and leadership. We'll be mountain climbing, caving, white-water canoeing, sea kayaking, and getting certified in all kinds of things.

    I'm super stoked and at the same time not looking forward to buying gear. Most of the stuff I have is either falling apart or not of good enough quality for the shit we'll be doing.

    This is seriously the coolest program and I'm completely jealous. He forgot to mention the bear wrestling and learning how to skin deer using only his teeth and pinkies.

    I've only been surfing once.

    It was one of the best experiences of my life.

    I curse my parents for moving from Hawaii to the Midwest before I was born.

    I tried to get into rock climbing when I first got to Perth but then volleyball kinda took over... I never realized how weak my grip strength was until I started trying to climb some of the more difficult indoor climbs
