As I was walking to the subway this morning, a car was backing up into it's parking spot. In doing so, they had to go over a small mound of snow that had been pilled up from the days before.
I stopped walking as I heard the snow being crushed under the weight and pressure of the car and tires. There's something about this sound that I love. I stayed there until the car was done parking and the sound was gone, but this is something that I really like listening to.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why I snowboard, because I hear this sound all the time when I ride. When I'm there strapping in, or about to go on a run, I heard that snow getting compacted and crushed under the board or my boots.
Ahhh that sound ... too bad I hadn't heard it this season since I didn't have a chance to ride and the only time I did hear it was a car parking along the street.
