CATHERINE 1 : HIPPIES 0

NOTE: i wrote this like 3 weeks ago and forgot to post it. oops.

went splitboarding with a-man and his squad yesterday. i was kinda just along for the ride and didn't know what the plan for the day was. after arriving at the hyak parking lot it became apparent that we were gonna try to skin up mt. catherine. i 've trail hiked mt. catherine several times before but had no idea where you go to splitboard it. turns out nobody in our group knew where to go either. we spent about 6 hours out there and damn near circumnavigated the mountain. we never made it to the top. i don't think we even came close. even though there wasn't any epic pow riding, there were a lot of laughs and, thankfully, no injuries besides some sore toes.

quad-ski!

even though we didn't get super-rad on the boards today everybody had a great attitude, we had tons-o-fun, and it was cheaper than going to bro-brah at the LBS.

I'm the only hippy out of that group, srsly. Those BMX dudes are rednecks, mruff puts 900 miles a week on his subey, and that one dude is aussie.

good pics, though!
