The season's winding down, so Sidney, Jon, and I hit up Northstar and stayed at the Lockheed cabin this weekend. Most of the mornings, we spent cruising down groomed runs, and the afternoons lapping Pinball and the progression park. The Stash was closed.  I forgot how nice and long the runs are here at Northstar, even if they are a bit flat.

This was also the first time I've bothered to bring a camera snowboarding this year-- my trusty Vivitar Ultra Slim & Wide. Even though it looks like we're 50 feet away in the pictures, we're actually probably only ten to fifteen feet away, the angle is just that wide. I wish I could have seen a few pictures of myself boarding earlier in the season. It's painfully obvious that I'm leaning back *hard* a lot of the times when I shouldn't be. That explains my 180s problem. 

As usual, there were a handful of pictures that I thought were going to be awesome in my minds eye, but either didn't look so awesome, or didn't come out at all. Such is life with film on a $2 plastic camera-- not so trusty after all. One missing picture in particular is of Jon bonking a log, 180 out. Actually, frozen in a single frame of film, there are no guarantees it would have looked cool anyway.

Three more days of boarding planned for this season. I'll work on not leaning back so hard.

PS. I borrowed Jon's old Rome 390 bindings to test out, and Sidney is smooth on her 5050s now.
