I went snowboarding yesterday at Hunter Mountain with some friends. I’m pretty out of shape, so this morning I woke up with the entire lower half of my body sore, plus a sore neck from a fall where I heard a distinctive cracking sound from the neck area. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, and the soreness will go away by tomorrow.

Snow conditions were great yesterday, which made for a very fun day. I used to hate cold weather, and thus any alpine sport. But these days I’m learning to embrace the chill. The crisp, cold air against your skin makes you feel alive, and snow covered mountains create beautiful backdrops.
