Today is Monday, actually I've had the day off! Woohoo!
My roomate Chris and I decided that it would be a great use of the day to go snowboarding.

I really really needed a way to let loose and blow off some steam after a rough week. Chris and I were planning on running up to Zion National Park, but between the weather and the cost, it just didn't seem like a good idea.  So, a Monday morning after a heavy snowfall? Snowboard!
It continued to snow all day, which was awesome.
We were shrouded in a cloud of wisping snowflakes and clouds that would only allow light to cast on the surrounding mountain peaks for a few moments and quickly close the sun out again. The falling snow created this surreal, three dimensional environment, cloaking distance in a grey mist.
Learning to snowboard was actually pretty easy. It was definitely easier than everyone I've spoken to made it out to be. I learned pretty quickly (I'll leave out the stories of me tumbling down the mountain over and over again).
