Early start

Mt. High, my home mountain (don’t hate), just announced its Opening Day today. October 29th!
This date is INSANELY EARLY. I think the last time the High opened before Halloween was my sophomore or junior year in college. That’s like ..MANY YEARS AGO (not going to say how many years exactly cuz i know ya’ll can do math, and you dont wanna know how old i am)!
I’m pretty excite at the moment. Just looking at this picture gets me thinking about all the memories that I had here. Since school was only 45minutes away, I basically spent my entire college career at this place. Before and after class, during class, weekends, nights, days, I was always here. The only days I did not go were on rainy days, when I had no choice but to go to class instead. People would call me to ask for snow conditions than check the website itself. Even spent Christmas Eve there one year, at night, just going up and down the short runs! It was lonely and there were no one on the slopes, but I was doing what I liked to do best, and I felt like I had the whole mountain to myself. It was awesome.
Yeah, I love Mt. High, the patches of dirt and icy snow and all. It’s where I learned to ride, where I formed lifelong friendships, where I met my last boyfriend who taught me so much about myself, where I got that scar on my arm, where I know the runs like the back of my hand. Man, I can’t wait till I feel the cold air on my cheeks as I cruise down the mountain for the first time of the season. Last one down Wyatt’s the rotten egg!
