MASCHA VAN TONGEREN

Saturday morning S. and I woke up around uh… 7.30. Excited about last night we start to catch up with each others version of what happened. Luckily, both versions were almost the same, meaning we weren’t all that gone. We were pretty disappointed in the fact that the pool was closed and there was absolutely no room service whatsoever available in the hotel.

We decided that before we would leave to go downhill biking, it might be beneficial to hae a good breakfast so we made our way down. In our PJ’s. Very classy. The receptionist shared our opinion, however, she was very helpful and sent us over to this kick ass little breakfast joint. Again. S. and I were chatting about how excited we are for snow and last night blah blah. Girl Talk.

After the most amazing morning after breakfast anyone could have wished for we made our way back. Ready to get on that bike. So we call Diablo for 2 rentals + one lesson [my neighbor wasnt there to keep an eye on me and S. had never been dhillin' b4]. The answer was NO. NO instructors and NO bikes.

That sucked.

Not ready to give up on biking quite yet we decided to go to another shop and get our IRON HORSES there. I mean, it was Saturday morning, 10 am… why would there not be any bikes? Again. The answer was NO. They only has one more bike. I guess God just didn’t want us to go downhilling.

Bummed out we decided to pack up and leave to go back home. Driving back home we passed some stables and decided to give it a shot and go do some back country [horseback] riding.  We tried at two different stables. No luck. It just wasn’t our day.

S. had the brilliant idea to go eat some RAMEN. Now, I neer ate any Ramen but TOP RAMEN, so really it didn’t excite me that much. S. on the other hand couldn’t have been more thrilled. So there we went, to Fort Lee to the Japanese shopping mall. The Ramen was good, our brainstorming sesh even better!

WE CAME UP WITH A NAME FOR THE NEW BANDANA COMPANY!

WHOOHOO!

So yeah, this weekend was the [un] official kick off of the new shred season.

The festivities started on Friday when Sarah came pick me up for our road trip to Mountain Creek in NJ. DC snow had Mack Dawg’s video premiere “Double Decade” , drive in style… so yeah, a car was an essential.

S. and I get along great. We both snowboard, skate, like boys ahum men and cocktail hour, so we had decided that it would be a smart idea to get a room in the posh Appalachian hotel at the bottom of the hill. I have a Mountain Creek pass so we got 20% off lodging… can’t help it… its the Dutch in me, I love discounts… they make me feel good! The plan was to go downhill biking @ Diablo the next day.

We made it out pretty much in time and went to the hotel first to check in/drop off stuff. When we got there we realized we weren’t the only ones who had the marvelous idea to stay over. The hotel was jam packed with snowboarders.

S. and I had a very nice room overlooking the parking lot. It smelled kind of funky, but had a romantic open fire place for those cold and romantic nights that we will most likely never have together. Sarah was getting ready and I wanted to go smoke a cigarette so told her to meet me down stairs whenever she was done. I grabbed my fliers + camera + bag and jumped in the elevator. We were on the 4th floor… The elevator made a stop @ the second floor and this really cute blond guy gets in, looks at me and asks me how I am doing. He had a lovely accent. My heart kind of stopped for a second. What can I say. He was handsome.

Sarah came down, we went to the parking lot @ South and saw that it wasn’t packed [yet], parked the car and walked around, trying to find something to drink. The only option were soft drinks/ cocoa [not even coffee] so we decided to grab some hot stuff and mix it up with the Ketel One in the car. When I was lining up, there were a bunch of kids behind me and all of a sudden S. is all excited because the kids had recognized me as ‘the chick from shredunion’. That was a special moment.

OK, so the movie was uh… great I think, I mean I didn’t really watch it because I was too busy finishing my drink[s] + conversating and we made our way over to the store @ South where the DC riders would be passing out autographs. As we walked in I immediately recognized ‘my’ elevator guy. We lined up. I felt like a teenager and got all the signatures. I actually ended up with 5 while there were only 4 riders… I don’t really get it but hey… its all good. I also got a lovely pair of hot pink skull candy headphones from a very nice stranger. Something tells me he might have something to do with SkullCandy. Haha! I have a bunch of SC’s already, but now I ♥ them even more.

We went upstairs and I kept on running into people I hadn’t seen in a while so it was super fun! We had lots of Ketel One + Soda’s and ended up dancing like idiots and having laughs with our new friends at DC. I am the first to admit that I might have had one too many but I wasn’t retarded. We ended up giving one of them a ride back to the hotel and then uh… hahaha … well, we don’t kiss and tell !

It was a fun night.

= wicked!
