Boarding anticipation nightmares....I totally relate!

If you smoke pot just before you go to bed = fantastique , best night ever.
even if you sleep like 3hours you still feel rested. (believe me i live 30miles from Holland)

pot messes with your REM sleep. So you dream less and you actually get worse sleep. Then when you dont have pot then your body will catch up and do more REM.

Thanks for the tips, Mom and Dad, but I'm pretty sure I can handle my pot. Besides, what's a real nightmare is how friggen dry and mild Vancouver is right now.

bring on the cold. There is a nice breeze here at the moment. Hopefully I dream about snowboarding tonight!

I always have horrible nightmares where I get really, really excited to go snowboarding and end up going. The only thing is that it's closing time when I arrive or that the "owner" wont let me ride... it sucks

Just thought I'd do a little follow-up, feels like the appropriately nerdy thing to do.

Yesterday was my first day riding this season. A few factors worked against me: 1) new boots, they definitely take a bit to break in and were a lot stiffer than I had anticipated, 2) "all-temp" wax when I should have had cold wax on since it was a million degrees below freezing on that friggin mountain, 3) on the chair lift up, my goggles fogged up then froze so I was riding without anything but a bandana to protect me from frostbite til I took a break in the lodge to defrost them under the boot-warmer, 4) it was my birthday on Saturday night and I barely made the car ride up to Whis without yakking and couldn't even choke down an egg mcmuffin. So given those factors, I was totally choking and thus totally freaking out for the first 5 mins on the hill, but in no time I was back in the groove, muscle-memory working overtime, going way faster than I had been on my best day last season! Yaaaaaaaaaay!

Now if only those locals would get some decent snow on them other than the dust and crust that prompted the premature openings...
