Most girls want to DO Jeremy Jones, I just wish I WAS Jeremy Jones...

Deeper is thus far my favourite snowboarding film that I have ever seen, but it is just the first in an epic trilogy. Further and Higher are the other two films (not yet out) and I am soooo excited to see these premieres! Here's an article that has me wishing it were winter again...or that I had that money and resources to do what Jeremy does, on of these days...

Workout Blog

So there won't be many more entries in the snow blog until the fall but I have started a workout blog: http://motivatemesummer.blogspot.com/

I am trying to stay in shape this summer, it's been really fun being more active than I have been any summer since high school :) This is somewhat of a challenge for me, but I am very excited to do this!! I always say that I hate summers (ironic, I know) but living in the mountains has already started to change my mind there :)

To a great summer!!

Summertime Snow

Last night I went to bed to a lightening storm and when I woke up, 6" of fresh pow had fallen up at A Basin!! I was planning on taking a sunrise hike but didn't have any company so bailed on that idea for safety reasons...heard that Eamon was going up to the pass a little later on (around 9am) so I got my gear together, grabbed a rock board and was out the door!

It was such a rush of excitement to see everything covered in snow this morning (even though I expected it), and driving up the pass was super exciting too!! Herman was happy to see snow during the summer time, and this much of it!?! Soooooo happy!!! I'm hoping to ride at least one more day this season (July 4th perhaps) and then I'll be content :)

Snow Banks are still taller than Herman!!

So beautiful :)

We were the first ones up there...I was shocked about that! We parked one car at the bottom and headed back up to the top where we met a kid from Boulder (Kevin) and he joined our crew for the day. There were 4 of us (Eamon, Chris, Kevin, & myself) and we had fresh tracks all the way down for the first two runs! The snow was pretty awesome (especially for late June) and the 3 laps we took were a nice morning workout...having 3 cars was great for a day when pass traffic is minimal :)

Scouting out the First Run

Overjoyed and taking Pics (Kevin)

Soooo Happy (Eamon)

Look at all the snow!! (Chris)

Hiking for our second run :)

Probably my favourite run (2nd run) :)

As for the rest of the summer, I decided to get a 6 month gym pass to the Silverthorne Rec Center and I started up with a nice easy 40 lap swim before work on Saturday morning :) I'm also playing on a soccer team and we play every Wednesday evening on different fields around Summit County, working on getting back in shape! I started playing volleyball (for fun) up at Carter Park in Breck whenever I have free time during the day and I'm really enjoying it :) I'm going to buy a hula hoop for exercising at home (I hear they are just $5) and I would like to get into doing yoga at least once a week. If anybody wants to do yoga with me let me know, that's something I'd rather not do alone :)

Relaxing for a bit and then contemplating a swim later on today!

COLORADO, I LOVE YOU!!! Atlanta summers are gross, hot, and sweaty!! The one thing that I miss about Atlanta (other than my friends and family) would be all of the outdoor pools!! We have great weather (though sometimes schizophrenic) here along with an amazing music scene! And in Summit County we have a gang of festivals...next weekend: Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour

Life is good :)
