I realised it's been a while since I posted here, you lose track of time here a bit when life revolves around powder days and not much else! I only have about 2 months left in Aspen, maybe even less if I decide to travel a bit in the USA. Time feels like it's running very short. I have been out on the slopes almost everyday for the last two weeks trying to improve my riding technique and push myself onto new challenges. I am loving snowboarding more and more each time I get out there and will be very sad to have to leave when I do.
The last few weeks since the X Games haven't been too eventful. I came down with the flu which set me back about 5 days lying in bed. It was largely the result of boarding in very cold snowy conditions, which were amazing at the time, riding through dead silent, knee deep powder, but came back to bite later! I also managed to see P.O.D. live here in Aspen, a concert to celebrate the Aspen Open where all the riders who didn't make it to the Winter Olympics compete on the X Games parks and pipes. The concert was very good, they are an incredible live band to see.
Things here mostly just carry on as normal, not much changes or happens. The lifestyle is so chilled out, each day just merges into the next and before you know it months have passed. It was President's Day yesterday, a whole day of American Patriotism which I tried to avoid as much as possible as I didn't think there was much to celebrate. People here have lost track of what it even means now.
