Snowboarding “under” the snow~
“It’s snowing…holy!” As soon as I woke up and glanced thru the blinds, I saw this HUGE pile of snow…and it’s still snowing…pretty hard. I didn’t expect that it would snow yesterday, it’s totally…shocking! Shocking happy since I was going to Mt. Cypress with Angela and Davinder in like 2 hours!! 
Let it fall let it fall!
Davinder and I met up at Angela’s place, around 9am. Angela’s got a Subaru Forester (4WD) with winter tires on, so we felt that we were going to be….pretty safe lol. We got there quickly and it was PACKED. We had to walk so much from our parking spot to the place where they sell tickets. Huge line up too, and after about an hour wait we finally got onto the Gondola. The mountain was extremely foggy and snowing pretty hard, so we didn’t get to see much of the “scenery” during the gondola ride…but oh well, it was still fun as it was my first time. It was Davinder’s first time snowboarding (Angela is a pro, and I’ve done it couple times), he had to rent out everything including jacket, pants, boots, board…everything; and since it was snowing hard still, we were forced to buy these much overpriced goggles ($34 or something) ….:(
We had lunch at this burger place, and as expected we got some overpriced (and bad tasting, imo) burgers with some fries and pop. Well, at least gave us some energy to move onto the next few runs. Davinder got too tired from the falling/tipping-over-and-had-to-crawl-back-up-in-a-weird-position routine, so he didn’t go for the runs with us after the food. But anyway it was fun fun fun! (Fun to see how Davinder fell from the lift helplessly….etc) and it was certainly helpful on my leanings watching how Angela did her swift moves! We’ve decided to leave around 5pm since Angela had to go home dinner with family (for the Chinese “Winter Festival”) What a fun, memorable day! (lol Davinder)
