Last Day of Snowboarding

Well, it looks like our snowboarding season is ending. We still have 3x left on our 10x times pass, and Mt Hood Meadows will be open for at least another 2-3 weeks, but with all of the travel and company we have scheduled for the next month+, I just don't see us being able to make it up to the mountain again. So sad.

The weather was pretty warm for this last visit, and the mountains were covered in "spring snow". Snow in the spring is softer and wetter, due to higher temperatures and more sunlight. Spring snow is fun for us (as beginners) because it runs a bit slower, is pretty forgiving to mistakes, and is soft to land on. We've both gotten quite a bit better this year, so that last bit isn't as important as it used to be. But every little bit helps. ;)

We leave this season with documented evidence of our snowboarding. First, Corinne taking a practice run down the mountain:
