Photo: My Mom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The season is ending, and unless you&#8217;re stupid and don&#8217;t like snowboarding, you&#8217;re kinda annoyed about it. Sure, you can pretend to like skateboarding or talk about how much you like summer, but the truth is, it sucks when you can&#8217;t go snowboarding. Personally, I have a minor break down every year, and I actually live in a place you can snowboard year round. Anyway, this is my first column (I decided to give myself one) and I&#8217;m going to use it as a coping mechanism. Accordingly, I will make a list of everything that annoys me when I go snowboarding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People who can&#8217;t form groups of the number of people that fit on the chair.<\/li>\n<li>People that can&#8217;t merge in the lift lines.<\/li>\n<li>Lift lines.<\/li>\n<li>When the snow is too sticky to move.<\/li>\n<li>When rocks get into fields of powder.<\/li>\n<li>Snow snakes.<\/li>\n<li>When the chairlift drips on your outerwear (Northwest problem)<\/li>\n<li>The price of lodge food<\/li>\n<li>Skiers pole planting back and forth on a straight away.<\/li>\n<li>When they charge you to use a screw driver<\/li>\n<li>When the screw drivers outside are stripped and your binding is loose<\/li>\n<li>When you lose a strap and don&#8217;t realize it until you&#8217;re at the top of the mountain.<\/li>\n<li>When it&#8217;s flat light.<\/li>\n<li>When someone cuts you off and you were on the way to do something cool.<\/li>\n<li>Skiers that stand on landings.<\/li>\n<li>Parking far away.<\/li>\n<li>Skiers being cool now.<\/li>\n<li>Snowboarders that sit on landings.<\/li>\n<li>People side-slipping down powder.<\/li>\n<li>People going off a cliff or chute and taking all the snow with them\/creating a bomb hole.<\/li>\n<li>When it&#8217;s so cold your skin hurts.<\/li>\n<li>When you drive all the way to the mountain and realize you forgot your boots.<\/li>\n<li>Skiers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Actually, I could go on all day (I&#8217;m easily annoyed, ok) but you know what? I feel strangely better. Maybe a break from snowboarding will do me well. And like I said, Mt. Hood is open and just up the road. Phew.
