Hmm... a lot has happened since I went to Hawaii. New Years was a blast. Mammoth was great and I could write an entire post on it, but I wont. Well, maybe just a little. It snowed 7 feet!!! in one day while I was there. 7 freaking feet!! Then the next day they were blasting for avalanches, and much of the mountain was closed. It was also snowing. I got stuck too. It was crazy. I was off the trail in powder (of course) and I briefly stopped to look behind me, and next thing I knew I was 3 feet deep. I tried to wiggle out, but it was unsuccessful. By this time I was much deeper. I had to unbuckle my feet from the bindings and litterally climb out to the trail. I was a good 25 feet from it too. So, if you can picture this, I gripped my bindings, put my board 2-3 feet in front of myself, and pulled. Yep, I did that to get out.
And I couldn't stand because that resulted in me sinking deeper. I was on my knees for the majority of the time, occasionally laying out so I wouldnt sink. It probably took around 20-30 minutes to get out. And it took all of my energy. It was the hardest thing I did all day. When I got to the groomed part, I just sat there and caught my breath. This last picture is looking out over Lake Crowley on the last day.
School started again. Hopefully this is my last semester at BC and I can move on to a better university. I am taking anatomy, critical thinking/writing, and two music appreciation classes. This entire semester is geared towards Berkeley. I am also playing hockey again this season, so everybody gets to hear about games again.

Maybe I should have gone along because it sounds like you could have used a skier to help bail you out of those powder banks.
