NorthStar

The story of AMAZINGstar – as told by K…

So the night before our trip to Tahoe, I went to rent snowboarding boots at Sports Basement. I stood in line for 20 mins and finally a young asian guy helped me check out my boots. Bouncing up and down on my peg leg, I struggled to squish my foot into a wet towel smelling boot as instructed by the guy. Trying not to imagine my bare foot in the soggy boot, he asks “So were are you heading out to?”. I said, “North Star, I think.” A giant smirk spread across his face and he blurted out “you mean AMAZINGstar!”. I giggled to myself at the dorky remark but alas, young asian guy you were right. It was AMAZING!

Considered by many to be One of the finest year-round mountain resorts in North America, the Northstar at Lake Tahoe Resort is a winter sport enthusiast’s paradise. In other words, it should be called AMAZINGstar! With beautiful Sierra Nevada views, majestic landscape, and hella good slopes; no wonder so many people hail this place as AMAZING.

If you are considering a trip to the slopes, you should really head out to AMAZINGstar. I mean, Northstar. It really is AMAZING!

Check out some videos of Us in the slopes. Can you spot me? *doh!

And more videos. *le sigh This is probably what I’m best at when I go snowboarding. :D

Can’t wait ’til next Season!

[Thanks Leofor the fotos and Facebook videos!]

It's been so long since I've gone. Do I still remember how to Board? Will I muster enough courage to even RIDE on the ski-lifts? Find out if I make it to the top of the peak, after the drop-off...]]>

Reaching the Peak at Boreal“, originally uploaded by Edopeno. I made it! Let’s all reach our peaks in LIFE!

It’s amazing how a day at the slopes can invigorate the mind and body. My FamBam and I made a trek to Boreal this weekend to hit the slopes and catch some snowy “waves.” This weekend (1.23-1.24.2010) was especially snow-tastic because Northern CA had experienced HELLA rain during the work week. What does that mean? More fresh, velvety, powdery snow for the slopes! Makes falling a lot less painful AND a great day to snowboard and ski! It’s been a while since I have done any snow activities since my winter’s in Minnesota, so you can bet I was ready to go! We spent nearly 6 hours at Boreal total, and after all that intensive body-workout (aka falling a lot) I am happy to say that there will be many more. Even reached the top of Boreal’s higest peak! # Winter! And yes, I’m still feeling sore…

View (choppy) recorded videos of the trip to Boreal as well as our interview w/ our new bud Z – who schools me on how to Snowboard!
