Over the weekend I turned off my mobile phone, abandoned email and social networking, and headed over the mountains to Bend with Jesi, Brent, and Felix for some hot snowboarding action. Mount Bachelor was having an EPIC POW DAY when we hit the slopes. Thanks to dancing to Team Banzai down at Cloud 9 with a few friends on St. Patrick’s Day, I had a free lift ticket for Bachelor. It was pretty surreal to have so few people on the mountain on a weekend with such epic dumps.
Very few people riding the slopes or the lifts. The first half of the day it snowed continuously.
In the afternoon we had a few bluebird patches.
Getting ready to shred down Canyon.
Jesi enjoying some sick gnar gnar.
The whole gang taking a break in the afternoon at Pine Martin Lodge.
As we stepped out of Pine Martin Lodge for a few last runs, the skies parted and we had a beautiful bluebird sky. The top Outback Express was almost deserted but they were still turning the lifts on the northwest side of the mountain.
Looking down toward Ed’s Garden.
Suiting up and getting ready to drop into some epic gnar gnar for a bluebird run.
The man with the vision for Mount Bachelor.
Post-boarding, I had a touch of Shackelton about my face.
It was still snowing in Bend as we prepared to head back over the pass on Sunday. What an epic shredding weekend.
