Oh yes yes...

...this is why I moved out of Queens... yes right... to go snowboarding at places like this at the end of april. Since I've been out here I've gone snowboarding more than I have all season.. twice at Mt. Hood and then this weekend, with my brother, at Alpental at Snoqualmie, literally 45 minutes outside of Seattle. This place got hit with over 200" of snow over this last season, the proof being in the 10 foot high walls of packed snow still lining all the roads up there... good gravy it was a lovely day.
