Post Injury

Approximately one month after my tailbone injury.

I'm glad that I can go snowboard again,

No more crazy moves this season (note: this season only),

I'm happy enough just sliding down the hills.

End of My Snowboarding Season

WooHoo!

I'm not working today!

How much I wish I can hurray for a day off work..

But unfortunately,

I was hurt while attempting a jump yesterday in Mountain High,

Here's what happened to my butts-

I would love to post a real picture here,

But sorry, my blog should be open to all ages instead of a R-rated not so good porno site.

The pinkish parts are the swollen areas,

The brown lines are the medication wraps that my chiropractor put on me.

Please note that there're bruises behind the wraps.

So the story goes,

As I went up to the slope, flying in the air,

BOOM!

I fell on my butts, on the hard packed snow.

The first thing in my head was I should move out of the way as soon as I can,

You don't wanna see other snowboarders slashing me off from behind...

But....easier said than done,

I couldn't move at all, so I just laid there....speechless...

I can also felt a tear rolling down from the corner of my eye...

Who is it?

A tall young man showed up in front of me,

For a moment I thought he is God.

Trevor? His name is Trevor.

He blocked out everybody in front of the slope and called for help,

My savior.

Later on he told me that he snowboards full time now, trying to get a sponsorship.

I didn't tell him this,

But if one day he succeed, I'll be his number one fan.

Countless thanks to him.

There're also few other people that I'm thankful of,

The guy who dragged me down to the base with a sleigh,

(I got my sleigh ride for the X'mas already..),

3 young men who helped to block other snowboarders,

People on the lift asking if I need ski patrol,

And my friends who were there with me.

So what did the chiropractor said?

He looked at my X-ray...found out that the end of my tail bone went inward...

Anyways...

I'm very frustrated here...don't wanna write about it...

Frustrates me more..

After all,

Does snowboard makes me happy still?

Yeah of course!

But in a very painful way.

Until the next season..

People Pouring into Ski/Snowboard Resort

Yes I went snowboard again,

Instead of Big Bear Lake, I was in Mountain High on Sunday-

I think I'm not the only one who's so crazy about snowboard,

Look at all these people lining up around the lift.

I'm so happy.

Bruises Report: 0

Pretty good eh?

0 bruise but My butt was freezing up there.

That means I need more gear to keep me warm!

*Fine, it's just my excuse to go shopping.

Snowboarding Season Begins

If you read the previous post,

You'll know that I made a round trip to Big Bear Lake for nothing,

Very disappointed.

So me and my friend went again today,

Call me crazy.

Here I am, one very happy girl-

The view from the top-

Restless weekend,

Didn't get to sleep in at all, which is vital to me.

Especially the weather's getting cold these days,

It's so hard to leave that warm cozy blanket early in the morning.

Oh well...

As long as it's for snowboard, I think I can live with it.

My bruises report-

Only a big one this time on my left knee,

Also can't really walk straight, and my butts hurt like a mother.

Sometimes I wonder,

I've got so many injuries already, how come I'm still so bad at snowboard...

Snowboarding Trip in 4 Hours

I'm very disappointed today..

6:00 a.m.

I woke up so early to get ready for my first snowboarding trip of the season.

7:40 a.m.

Left the house.

8:30 a.m.

Eating Chinese style breakfast around Rowland Heights.

11:00 a.m.

2/3 of the way to Snow Summit in Big Bear Lake.

Stopped by the store talking to a few local residents.

Why?

Because the road was closed due to poor weather condition and mud slide.

11:15 a.m.

Driving down from the mountain.

It's very frustrating when I was surrounded by snow but couldn't snowboard at all..

Here's the visibility driving back-

11:20 a.m.

My face reflection on the passenger window-

The ski resort is still open despite the closing road,

However,

From where I was, there's no turning back,

Unless I wanna drive blindly to the base then make a circle coming back up again,

Which is at least 3 more hours in a weather like that you can't see a thing.

There's only one solution,

Sacrifice my only chance to sleep in on Sunday morning,

And try to conquer the road once again.
