I had a slow boarding experience in New Zealand, so I was very keen to find a mountain with tons and tons of snow on it. A mountain I could slide down while making a loud Woo-Who noise! So, for holiday I headed to Colorado Springs, Colorado in the US. My mission was to organize my transport up to visit with a friend who lives in Fort Collins. I was hoping to stay with them, but they already had guests staying with them; something about brother-in-law being out of work. So my friends recommended I stay at a hotel Fort Collins is known for, which they would make the reservations for me.
I took the Greyhound bus from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins and boy, it did not disappoint, from the lady I was sitting next to who was a trucker and told me continuous trucking stories that were pretty interesting, to the guy sitting across the way, who was this large Texan that was totally drunk and belched all the way. Every single person on the bus was a freaking total character, some scary and some funny.
After spending a couple of days hanging out in Fort Collins and catching up with my friends, we all went down to Denver to watch a bicycle race around the Bronco’s Football stadium. My friend looked for any excuse to get out of their house and to get away from their unemployed brother-in-law. I told them that it’s great how family can be there to help family out of a rough spot. They just smiled and said ‘yeah, right.’
After Denver, we all headed to Copper Mountain for my snow-boarding fix. I had a few excellent days of boarding with my friends. The snow was a bit wet, being spring, but I didn’t let that stop me from working on my jumps and half pipes. I was doing my half-pipes without a helmet, with is pretty reckless.
On our way back to Fort Collins, I had a week of exploring the sights. I really liked Horsetooth Mountain Park , it was really beautiful, I even saw a few deer. I’m really glad I was staying a hotel, because after spending a few nights over at my friends house for dinner, I could see why they wanted to get out of the house so bad. The brother-in-law situation was pretty dire. Glad I could give my friends a respite, if only for a few days.
