Targhee.

After yesterday would I go back to Hawaii and the sun? Nope! ..not right now at least! Even though I loved Hawaii...the winter and I..we get along pretty well I'd say! Yesterday was a prime example of the winter and I being friends. A couple of my friends went up to Targhee yesterday and I of course was there in a heartbeat. Since I've been in Hawaii I haven't been up skiing yet and you know that this is not ok in my book. I think I was just meant to ski. Its probably on my top five favorite things to do in this world. Actually it is on my top five..not probably.
The snow yesterday wasn't to amazing though. It was Washington snow. Heavy powder and a little moist. Not the normal dry, light powder that we get around here. Was it still freaking fun though? YES. So more towards the end of the day we decided that we wanted to build a jump. The snow was so soft that it would be a super soft landing and hey..why not build a jump right?
  This is embarrassing but this video is of my going off the jump...and crashing. I don't know why but I like posting embarrassing videos on my blog. Its kind of fun for me! Ok but you have to hear the story behind it. I don't know why but when I'm skiing with people better then me and they tell me to do something...I most likely will do it because I want to get better. So I'm skiing with Loren and Kurt and they are by far some of the best skiers that I've ever skied with. They go off the jump first and say its a super soft landing and I'll be just fine. But they also said I just needed to bomb it and not slow down on my way to the jump. So of course..I do what I'm told..they are better than me after all! So I crashed..but hey..at least I did it and I wasn't even scared. I would do it again if that jump was still there. I really love getting my adrenaline pumping when I'm skiing. Its more fun that way. So here's the video. Don't laugh to hard when you see it :)
