Right now I...
Right now, I…
- Am really taking advantage of this vacation.
- Understand that I’m a senior and there’s still more work to be done in terms of wrapping this whole college thing up, but this vacation has really been crucial as far as having some time to breathe.
- Figure that if I’m already sunburned, bruised, sweaty, and sore that this vacation is off to an awesome start!
- Am really stoked. I hiked up into the Notch the other day with a good friend and we ended up spending the entire day up there.We snowboarded on rocks and trees, hiked in and out of the woods repeatedly, and got an awesome picture-documentary of it all (I’ll try to get those ASAP).
- Think that it’s beautiful outside. I just got contacts so I feel like I’m seeing everything for the first time. I never really noticed how vibrant our trees and flowers are. It’s really amazing.
- Am going to go catch the last bit of winter at the mountain.
- Think that everyone should go outside. Go skateboard, run, jog, walk, walk your dog, sunbath, take a plunge in an icy river, canoe*, plant a garden, break dance, have a picnic, ride a bike, or maybe just meet some friends on a bench in town and revel in whatever it is that's worth reveling over. Have fun!
* I take that back, canoeing is probably a very dangerous idea right now…

Chasing epic shred
Despite how hectic the whole college search has made every day of this year, this week was possibly the best week ever! For starters, the mountain was incredible. The entire hill was covered with deep snow but the sun was out and the jackets and hats were off. I’ve never been more stoked on a crucial case of snow-blindness, a beet-red sunburn, and sopping wet gear! It was pretty cool!
But it gets better!
The winter routine (a.k.a. sleeping and snowboarding) was over! I spent this entire weekend outside with my bros. We would ride until noon-ish, come down the hill into town for a frappe or slice, then cruise on bikes and skateboard until it was time to shower and go out for the night. It was like a preview for this upcoming vacation, which will be awesome!
But being outside this week has really got me thinking. This is going to be my last spring time in Stowe for at least four years. It made me realize how lucky I am to have grown up here and be exposed to this beauty. I don’t think that there are too many locations like ours that have so much to offer at all times. Even though I’m getting pretty antsy to see what else is out there in this country, I’m glad to know that I can call this home.
Well, right now it’s almost 60 degrees and it’s a half-day at school.So I’m going to mosey on up to the hill to chase some epic shred!
