Returning to Mt High After 10 Years

The first time I ever went snowboarding was at Mt High and it was pretty much crap.  Finally after so many years, I finally went back and will probably never ever go back there ever again.  The parking was so insane because there's hardly any parking spaces and the snow plow man didn't plow enough snow so you can park on the side of the highway.  So on Saturday, we left at 7 AM and a 30 minute drive to the resort turned out to be 4 hours because it was just that packed especially since they had fresh powder snow!  After we spent the time trying to get up there and digging snow out from under the car and trying to get unstuck from the snow, my brothers decided to just give up and head back...minutes later my friend texted me that they opened new spots to park.  God damn it!  So we tried again on Sunday and this time left at 6 AM and even then the first park's parking lot was already full.  The fresh powder snow was all gone so it was just compact powder which was okay but I wanted to try doing jumps and fresh powder would have been a great cushion.  Although Sunday was less crowded, it was still too crowded for my taste because I am used to less people and way bigger resorts.  I did see some interesting things there though but not enough to ever want to come back for more.  I saw a guy in a trench coat with a matching fedora hat hitting the slopes, a boarder wearing boxing gloves, a midget boarding, the most amount of black people on the slopes ever, random jerks throwing snowballs at random people passing by, and a ghetto trailer trash fight, which was pretty pathetic because they were beating up on much younger kids and hitting from behind the back.  I did catch the fight on film so I will post that some other time.  I did try doing jumps but ate it a few times because it was so crowded that people just get in your damn way.  Mt High people just don't have any courtesy.  Random people hit my board so many times and didn't even give a heads up or a simple sorry.  I will never go boarding alongside Walmart shoppers again, they're just too damn ghetto.


Squirtle!
