This trip has been packed with a lot of new experiences.
(Until now, I’ve led a relatively sheltered life.)

First time…
- being in Los Angeles (albeit just the airport prior to flying to Mammoth)
- seeing the Pacific Ocean in person (from the airplane window. Still cooler than watching Laguna Beach reruns.)
- flying in a small plane that looked very mosquito-esque
- eating a burrito stuffed with duck meat (eh. overrated, but still good after a few cocktails.)

The week-long shred trip I’ve dubbed the “West Coast Tour” includes riding Mammoth Mountain, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Northstar-at-Tahoe and Kirkwood. This trip is going to be epic.
