Snowboarding @ Sunshine

So I sucked it up today and went out snowboarding at Sunshine. I left my house at 6:30AM and arrived in the Sunshine parking lot at about 8:10AM (hehe, I was slightly speeding). I managed to get second row parking arriving at that time and was stoked that I was one of the first few at the hill. I quickly put on all my gear, bought my lift ticket and headed for the gondola. After putting my bag up in the lodge I headed for the Angel lifts. For some reason I was really nervous. I am guessing it was because I was nervous going up by myself. After riding the chair by myself all the way to the top I got off the chair and didn't fall... SUCCESS! I was 7/7 (for successfully unloading from the lift chair) for the day and quite proud of myself. I was also quite proud that I did so many runs in so little time. My first run didn't go so well, but they never do (for me). The runs were freshly groomed and I found it hard to find an edge, it was discouraging but after relaxing a bit I managed to get my first run down the hill unscathed. Anyways I had a lot of fun, but its just not the same without friends being with you. Next time I will definitely find some peeps to join me in my snowboarding escapades.
