Avalanche

Some time near the end of last month Patrick and I were coming back from Big Sky. We were making good time and then all of a sudden we see all the cars in fromt of su pulling off the highway. We pulled off the highway to see what was going on. Apparently there had been an avalanche earlier that day. We got stuck in the pass for eight hours. After the pass was finally cleaned up we managed to pull through. it was late really late and we dicided we weren't going to make it to school the next day. Also to out luck it was dumping down snow. We stopped in Kellog , Idaho. There jsut happeded to be a great ski resort there Silver Mountain. Silver Mountain was all back country so there was trees and powder everywehre. It was like a dream there was amazing snow up to my chest on all the ungroomed areas. To make it even better there were no bunny slopes. It was all blues or diamonds so it was very enjoyable.

Stevens Pass Corona Bowl

Pat, Avery and I went to Stevens Pass last Satuday. Avery's mom took us so we rode in their Mexican part van up to the mountain. When we go ttheir we immediately went to the top of the mounain and hit up the Corona Bowl. The Corona Bowl is a double black and Pat and I weren't sure if we could take Avery down it without him killing himself. It had dumped down snow the night before so there was powder everywhere and we figured he should be able to do it. It was Avery's wecond year dnowboarding so I felt kinda bad making him do Corona Bowl. AFter Pat and I dropped into the run and started tearing up the powder we asked each other "Wheres Avery?" after we stopped half way down. There Avery was at the top of the runa dn starts screaming as he points his board down the hill. He eats it and starts rolling and just plain kept rolling down the hill. Avery managed to stop half way down the hill and he was covered in snow. Pat and I were laughing hysterically and couldn't stop laughing the rest of the way down the fun. When we got to the bottom we asked each other "Wheres Avery" and just started cracking up again.
