Bring on the snow!


So this weekend I got together with some old friends and had the chance to meet some new ones as well. The reason was to celebrate the first snowboarding of the season. Granted the snow was really ice from a Zamboni and the mountain was a hill in a backyard, it didn’t manage to stop the unbridled enthusiasm.

For many of us we have found ways to pacify our needs of the winter, the ability to slide down snow. This is most commonly masked in surfing, but can also be seen in other sports such as skating and now SUMO, not the wrestling. But alas, winter has now arrived.

It appears that all of the hard work has paid off because in the last four days, we have seen snow twice. In addition it looks promising that our local hill will be open this weekend to ride. So for all of you there Friday night, thank you for a great time! For all of you who want to learn to ride this winter or get better, come on out! But most importantly, keep the snow coming or all of us that have learned why this sport is so great!
