Ha, I had a similar feeling when I went off a jump snowboarding that I literally asked my buddy if they made bigger overnight on the chairlift up. As I'm in the air, thought "yep, they definitely made it bigger. Holy fuck, I'm still in the air, I've never been in the air this long." I actually landed it for like a second, then I completely ate shit n broke my wrist. Fun times!
Snowboarding is so fun. I can't wait for this season. I just wish it wasn't getting so expensive—like everything else.
There's one family owned hill in Tahoe called Diamond Peak that I still frequent. It's unfortunate because it's not the greatest hill in Tahoe (by fucking far) but hey, they let kids 6 and under ride for free, and while it is still expensive, it's much less than their corporate counterparts. It's also nice that I can bring my kids and not go broke. Most of my old stomping grounds have been bought by Vail and the like. It's a shame because I would like to take my son to Squaw, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, and Heavenly but they are just way to God damn expensive now. I got a gondola pass for my wife recently at Heavenly. SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS. Mind you, that just gets you to mid mountain and no skiing/snowboarding. Those used to be $15 before Vail came along. They're also charging for fucking parking now too. They've sucked all the fun out of the sport for sure.
