Post-session
Similar. Small and onshore/mushy. Crowded.
Friend and I tried to find quiet sanctuary at BM's. He lasted about 15 minutes then paddled to Regular via M's; I stuck it out about twice that long and did the same thing. Pretty miserable.
So my friend is doing his annual pilgrimage to Breckinridge in February and has invited me along, since I've been so stoked on snowboarding. He's got everything set up. His friend will let him use a house that will be vacant and other acquaintances will supply free equipment. So the only cost to him (and me) would be air fare, rental car, lift ticket/pass, and food. He'll write off the car as a business expense, so I wouldn't have to contribute, and he already has a season pass for the lift.
Very tempting. But I can't do it. Too soon: not enough vacation and moola. I've got another trip in May to NYC/DC for 10 days, and that's pretty much my current traveling focus. But I've made a commitment to join him next year. I'll do Washington (probably Snoqualmie) with my son and Breck with him. Just that it seems so far in the future, and I've got the snowboarding bug.
