Winter Wonderland

This weekend I had the opportunity to go on a Winter Wonderland getaway courtesy of a mutual friend, J9, in Roxbury, New York. Her family owns a cabin there, in the middle of the woods, and she invited 16 or so of her closet friends (Ryan, Todd, and me included). There were ski trails minutes away, so Hobby's Liberal Snowboard School of Logic was open and ready for business. To make a long story short, Todd emerged my shining student (the school had a 33% success rate that day). He started on the Bunny Slope, and before the end of the day he was on a black diamond! He had only been on the slopes one time before, but this was his first time snowboarding. I even witnessed him "Gleaming the Cube," a reference to a backside carve and scraping an open palm on the powder below. I was a proud teacher; he snowboarded hard, went fast, and wiped-out big.
