ONE YEAR.

sleeping on couches. waiting for skies to clear. bribing lifties. breaking shovels. hiking. sledding. searching. shouting. scoring. crashing. dreaming. chugging coffee. missing luggage. redbull. losing friends and finding new ones. sunscreen. leash laws. hiding from security. the chains. ignoring slow signs. passport stamps. lost wallets. bar down. tips up. fucking alarm clocks. digging cars out. busted sleds. burning out the slowmo button. exaggerated stories. talking shit. shady gas station sandwiches. wind burn. goggle tans. frostbite and frozen fingers. late night wax sessions. fear. excitement. paranoia. increasing weather channel ratings. debating which board. tuning and detuning. tightening screws. swollen members. stair massages and seeing stars. taunting your friends. the subtle sound of falling snow. language barriers. road trips. not believing how expensive gas is. calling 'take two skip the last'. google maps. dawn patrol. first chair. second chair. last chair. needing to pee at the top of the lift, then getting down and getting so stoked on the run that you want to go right back up without peeing. getting pitted. clipping tickets. claiming hard. hitchhiking. yard sales. liquid lunches. scary toilets. broverdose. pancake hiccups. powder run boners. heads spraying about your spot. scoping landings. working as little as possible. riding as much as possible. learning new tricks. remembering old tricks. gnar-b-qs. wind hold. waiting. spraying. hiking. mending broken parts. creaking knees. weightless feelings. sacred sticker jobs. sketchy traverses. missing the grab. rooster tails. flat landings. runs to the ice hockey rink. cramped hotel room floors. middle row seating. hating. bomb holes. frozen boogers. ragdolls. tacos. cold smoke. fuzzy feelings. thinking up excuses for, school and significant others. stiff socks and smelly thermals. eating mac and cheese three times a day. ramen noodles. locals only desecration. getting vibed. not caring that its raining. trying to tweak like terje. taco tuesdays. hustling. moguls. making up slang. euro carves. taking branches to the face. living off nuts and berries. frantically sweeping snow from your goggles in hope of seeing where you're going. shitting your pants. getting even higher. hoping it never ends. not caring how cold it is. picking the snow out from behind you teeth. cover to cover and back again. getting snaked. lazy homies rolling in at 10 after 7. brushing your teeth out the car window. evil twins. weird rashes. core shots. kooking out on snowlerbladers. freestylin in the gondi. step ins. starter jackets. debating but never calling last run. blowing off all responsibility. getting lost. blowing doughnuts. barely being able to walk the next day after refusing to call it quits.

wondering how people who don't ride survive.
