Mayden Voyage

This year I have made the decision to dive into the wonderful world of back-country skiing, sort of. Only I'm not skiing,I am split-boarding. :) There are limited options when it comes to obtaining a split-board and most of them are rather pricey, so I decided to cut my own. There was a board in the local classified ads that I picked up for a pretty good price and then I proceeded to cut it in half! But that's a story for another day. The point is, I finally took it out and did a tour today. Woke up at six in the morning, drove up the canyon, skinned up a mountain, snowboarded down, and got home at about one in the afternoon. What a wonderful day it was! It kicked my ass pretty good and the snow wasn't the greatest but it was a great day! Here are some pics for you to enjoy, even though they are not the greatest. Even if they were the greatest they could still not fully convey the days majesty.
