I'm so Hardcore!- Part 1


That I am sometimes hardcore is well known amongst those that know me; regardless I like to mention it regularly. Sometimes I do things I really don't want to (like run a marathon in the snow) just so I can keep up my rep.
Yesterday, Sue and I were hardcore yet again. Fucking snowed like crazy yesterday at Steven's. This created the best and the worst conditions. The best when you found an untracked line and the worst when you didn't. But it was all worth it. The backside was a perfect example (the backside almost always tests your internal fortitude!) Top of Aquarius - BUTTER. Bottom of Aquarius -CONCRETE.
This day was not for the faint of heart. Even in the last few hours we were able to find a sweet untouched powder run off to the left of Big Chief. But the herd saw us having fun and came and poached our line.
The Push proved once again it was worth every penny and more. Deal at twice the price. Only drawback to having a new board is worrying about some criminal making off with it while I'm gettin' loose in the Foggy Goggle. Possessions own you!

Aside- Sue was feeling extremely charitable yesterday and admitted that Steve was right about it being very unsafe to stop on the shoulder of the interstate, since she saw some expose on TV about how many State Troopers get runover while they are stopped. She even told me I could tell Steve she said so, to make up for her being right about first runs on icy days. (Somehow, I doubt Steve will get much satisfaction from this. It may even add to his humiliation.) She also reiterated, however, that if one of her boots had flown out the back window, he would have gotten an assbeating.
