Observations about Ski/Snowboarding

I went Snowboarding yesterday for the fist time in 3 years. I bought a new board bindings and boots at the after christmas sales, and I was kind of excited to get out on a board again. The conditions were horrible, but it was still pretty fun to get out and make some turns.

This next part is a few thoughts I had while snowboarding. (a bit of a rant)

-Charging full price for lift tickets when you have less than half the trails open and conditions are terrible is lame, yeah I payed it, but won't be going again till there is way more snow and all the trails are open.

-When you are in the lift line, or on the chair, there is no need to pull out you cell phone/I-pod and make a show.

-If you are going to talk smack on the lift, and yell at people about how much they suck, you better have the skills to back it up.

Happy New Year

Well, another year has come and gone. I celebrated New Years Eve with my friend Lindsey, she wanted to build a snowboard jump in her back yard. I was skeptical at first, since it is a fairly small back yard, and very flat, but hey, there was booze involved, and the promise of some tasty snacks afterward so I was game. It turns out that I had a fantastic time, the mini snowboard jump we built was fun as hell. I even have pictures to prove it...
