Mountain Creek on MLK
I went to Mountain Creek today with Joey and Kevin. Mountain Creek is not the shit hole that many people make it out to be. Well ok, it is but there are some good reasons to go. I'm a bit of a snowboarding snob, in that I will refuse to go to any mountain that is not in New England . . . it's just not worth it. The conditions usually aren't that great and the trails aren't anything special. Plus they're usually really short. I like nice long trails. It's just not worth a 2+ hour drive. I make an exception for Mountain Creek because a) it's close, b) I go there for the park, not for their trails and c) their triple play pass was only $69. The biggest downside of Mountain Creek is probably the douchebag teenagers. Seriously, I can see why teenagers are so despised by the adult population.
Today was a huge failure because I'm chickenshit and need to grow a pair. I avoided nearly all the jumps today and barely touched any boxes or rails. I'm never going to get jumping down at this rate. The one saving grace of the day was that I brought my camera and snapped a shot of Joey finally nailing a nice grab on his board.
And here's one of Kevin landing a jump:
