Wintertime is coming

Topic: Life|

So, Mammoth opens this week… Mt. High and Boreal are already open… it’s raining and cold* in Southern California and my heart is just aching to get out there.  I got SSX3 for the PS2, it’s a snowboarding game and I’m addicted to it.  The songs are ripe, the gameplay is just stupidly fun and I’m having a blast doing things I’ll never be able to do in real life.  I really can’t explain how excited I am about the new season and new snow.

I love the cold, the rain, the snow, the clouds, the chill in the air and everything else about snowboarding season.  All this begs the question, why do I live in Socal if I like weather?  It hardly drops below 70 around here, never snows, barely rains and is in general quite boring.  I can sit bundled up on a cold ridge all day long watching clouds roll by without a care in the world, now that I think about it that actually sounds like a damn near perfect day.  I can’t however, stand to be hot, sweaty and sticky just sitting around on a beach or pool or something trying to cool off.

What do you prefer?

*Southern California cold == temperatures <70 degrees, please don’t confuse this with REAL cold as defined outside of Socal.
