This weekend we had a little fun in the sun...in the snow! We've had this weekend planned for a while and it was the first time the whole group was available for a weekend getaway for some snowboarding in Mt Baker. Turns out it was perfect timing. This has been a weird winter for snow in Washington. The mountains opened up super early in the fall with great snow, then the snow stopped and was terrible for a few months. The last couple of weeks, it has come back in full force for some great spring snowboarding! We rented a house with 3 other couples about 20 minutes from the ski resort. We got in late Friday night and Saturday started a little slow...the guys actually got up and made breakfast and headed to the mountain a little earlier. Myself and 2 of the other ladies headed to the mountain around noon for a lesson. One of the girls had never snowboarded before, so we wanted her to do a lesson and we joined in on it! It was a good refresher for myself and the other girl who had ridden before. After the lesson, Allison and I hit took a few runs with the guys before calling it a day. It started to get pretty wet out and the lifts were closing soon anyway.
Sunday we headed back to the mountain and Allison and I took another lesson...mostly because it was only $30 for the lesson with the lift ticket...which made it cheaper than just buying a lift ticket. Technically our lift ticket was just for the beginners lift, but no one was checking it anyway. We had a great lesson and joined the guys on a few other lifts/runs for the rest of the day. It was perfectly warm and sunny out on Sunday and the snow was great! I had such a blast and now I really want to go again soon! It had been too long since the last time I went, and I think Mt Baker is officially my favorite mountain in Washington now. There were some great runs!
