Huh - that's where I have my pass. Haven't been up in a couple weeks, as the snow has sucked!

Sara, I'll go up with you some time. We are headed to Brighton tomorrow to brave the gapers.

Now you need to buy boots, bindings and a board. Not to mention a rack for your bimmer. Welcome to winters second most expensive sport!

I bought my snowboarding pants today. $100 bucks..not too bad. Yup gonna buy a board sometime either this week or next, so I'll probably have to rent one again for Saturday but its only $55 to rent and board for the whole day so it's not much at all.

That picture was taken right by the bunny slpoes at Brighton, I recognize it. Brighton was cool, so was Snowbird, but IMO Park City was definately the best place for beginners. The bunny slope there is seriously like 4 times the size of Brighton's. And they have a pretty easy run to start off with, but its nice and long so lots of good practice.

Yeah the bunny slope was pretty short, thats why when Igor left for the bigger one, I decided I wanted to try it out too.

took me a while to convince her that wearing jeans is NOT a good idea, when you learn to snowboard, but after the first run she finally listened. haha

i leave her and her friend on a bunny slope, so i could go and do couple of big runs, come back 20 min later and they are gone. call them to see where the hell they went, and turns out these two crazy girls are up to the top of the lift i just got back from! its all intermediate and expert from there down!

she even managed to flirt with half of the freaking dudes she saw, including people on the lift, while she was riding down... that was until a tree ran across her way

yo, sara, send me my gloves. lol
