Snowboarding

On Friday, I went snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada mountains with a Spanish friend. It was by far one of my favorite days here in Spain. It was only a 30 minute drive away. The weather was perfect. There was barely anyone on the hills. The view was breathtaking. It was about as peaceful as it gets. It was my first time snowboarding in the mountains (20 minutes from top to bottom makes the day much more fun). I didn't get hurt. Successful day in my book. Here are some pictures, but I have to say that these pictures don't do justice.

 The entire place to myself it seemed like.

 Most of the snow was artificial snow, but it surprisingly wasn't too bad of conditions.

 It was the first time I had ever seen an enclosed lift. To get to the very top of the hill, you had to take three different lifts. However, the very top wasn't open yet, so we only took two to our starting spot.

 I cannot wait to go back next time, there should be more natural snow and nearly all the trails open, yahooooo!
