Farewell Winter Midnight Madness

HAHA snowboarding again! with one of my classmates and his bunch of cliques, the conditions of the slopes are quite sad that day, we signed up for the Midnight madness lift ticket, i guess we are mad. Slopes all ice .... which is a biT55 and a 1/2 to control our direction and the ice is so hard that we could not even dig into the "snow" so its like braking a 3 tonner with your ... face. One of our friends actually fell on the black diamond, and slid down almost all the way on his butt, while observing several unfortunate ones doing the same thing. You just could not dig into the snow... so its almost impossible to stand up. I actually saw a skier roll down a slope full of muguls for like 50 meters... all ice .. he kind of survived i guess.

Dispite all the misfortunes, the sunset was really brilliant for like 10 mins...!
One of the worst days to go snowboarding, the slopes are all ice.... all ice ... and a few patches of exposed ground. Some of my friends are quite pro at this and they are afraid to go on the black diamond run today. So we pretty much stayed clear of trouble and hung around the green circles and blue square trails... well the greens circles are pretty nice at this place.... long and windy, unlike the black and blue trails, which are just boring straight slopes. The place has a hilarious name too, "Crotched Mountains" .... and the people working there wore ridiculous shirts with huge letters "Crotched Crew" printed on them. HAHAHA!!!
