Nicholas ponders futility.
while preparing to get up once again...
Nicholas' friend Hunter, standing in the middle of the easy slope in front of the base lodges. The rope tow runs through the frame.
Looking down on the base lodges of the upper base area from about halfway down the expert run "North Face". Nick & Hunter are boarding on the rope tow in the center of the frame.
Lunch Time! Hunter and Nick chow down on pizza at the Heather Meadows base lodge.
Nick is tired and wet.
Nick boarding.. sort of.
Nick said right here: "I'm never doing this again!" Nick is a competent skier, but this is his first time on a snowboard.
Hunter boarding
Nick, actually on his feet!
whoo hoo!
Hunter, preparing to ride the rope tow.
Nick, waiting for hunter at the bottom. You can see my poles resting on the rope tow fence to the right of Nick.
He manages a smile. Nick is a good-natured kid, even when not happy.
On his feet.
Off them again.
taking off...
heading down...
