Michelle's Life in La-La Land

從今年的大熊山第一滑剛回來
聽到卡兄的吆喝, 有伴滑雪怎麼能不一起上?
於是找了衝浪班的校長娜姐跟同學凱哥一輛車跟壞天氣對抗去
一路上雨大視線差, 進了山區氣溫降不下來還是大雨不停
心想這天真的是要體驗第一次雨中滑雪的滋味了
沒下雪但路況差還是chain required
下山的車沒被規定到, 一輛失控的pick-up突然衝到我們面前
還好我們保持了足夠的安全距離, 那pick-up 也及時拉開
才沒真的撞上, 真的是超級驚險的

時間過的飛快
日子過的忙亂
突然發現離上個blog entry居然已經一個半月了耶！
幾週前南加大雨, 一個禮拜連來了三個storms
新聞每天報的就是各地雨況跟山區雪況
搞得愛滑雪的不愛滑雪的愛玩雪的從沒看過雪的通通擠到Big Bear去
那個週末人潮大量湧入
還導致提款機沒錢可提加油站沒油可加
為了維持山裡的秩序County還決定封山, 只讓輸送物資的貨運車進入

兩年前在有多年教學經驗的"Professional Snowboarder"愛馬力"愛的"教育之下
開始我的滑雪生涯(怎麼搞得好像在發表得奬感言) 
去年跑了兩趟Tahoe, N趟Big Bear
南加州人很愛的Mammoth倒是一直嫌太遠還沒去過

三月底了冬天也應該算是過完了
上周末再去了一次Big Bear 算是這個雪季的最後一滑
一個多禮拜前Natasha Richardson 滑雪意外傳出
在那之前我一直覺得滑雪只要不要太好強太想衝想做高級動作就不會有甚麼危險
不過聽到Natasha 也只是在初學者坡還有私人教練指導但還是出事了
我就緊張了, 立刻衝去買安全帽, 等到收到安全帽才敢再出門滑雪

寫了這麼多次snowboarding遊記
我很怕有人誤會我很會snowboarding
為了幫大家打預防針
我決定讓大家笑一下

Psychologists say people reported feeling happier when they spent their money on experiences rather than objects. 

好啦老實說我完全沒有計畫情人節. 但本來就計畫這周末要滑雪...完全忘了情人節這回事.
虧我之前還稱讚美國的氣象報告比台灣的準很多, 但上周末氣象報告說會下大雨(雪)但卻大晴天害我沒滑到雪. 這禮拜我決定不再相信氣象報告非去不可, 再不去冬天就快結束了!

This was my 2nd visit to Snow Summit.  The 1st time was almost an year ago.  I still remember we spent the entire afternoon in the traffic and it was already dark when we were finally ready to go on the slopes.  Even worse than that, it took a friend of mine 6 HOURS (from OC to Big Bear) on a FRIDAY NIGHT and another friend also 6 HOURS on a Saturday!!!  After hearing all that, I was very determined to get up really really early to avoid the crowds and traffic.
So we left home around 6:15 in the morning (I know it doesn't sound "very very early"....haha...), got a Starbucks, and started our one-day Big Bear trip.  Luckily, we were actually still early and there weren't too many cars on the road yet.  We got there before 8am.  Yay!

平常的週末是我整理照片和寫blog的時間
最近連續三個禮拜跑去滑雪
搞的La-La Land 荒蕪了好一陣子
現在在打blog其實有點勉強
因為手指實在是超痠的
