HECK yeah, I’m stoked. Half tele, half boarding. I took Angie for her birthday a few years ago and part of the gift was that I learned to board. I was hooked for a while, but eventually had to go back to the freeheel. I still strap on a board sometimes, although it’s going to be tough to not just ride my World Piste tele’s. The year I went to Snow College, was the year I had a season pass to Elk Meadows. It was crazy because there was a clear divide between skier and boarder and I saw a lot of full-on fights. The nice thing was that us dorky free-heelers were just the odd guys out and everyone pretty much seemed to get along with us odd-balls even though a lot of freeheelers are latte-sipping, groovy, holier-than-thou hippies. Poaching Alta was definitely fun and it was hilarious to see Ang get discriminated against. Alta is for bigots, although that won’t stop me from taking advantage of Ski free after 3.

I remember you re-tooling a beat-up old board for me to go boarding with you guys my first time up. I also wore sorrels…(that’s hilarious). Been boarding ever since…putting up with harrasment from an old-school Alta ski-snob brother, a telemarking husband…etc (Mike has finally given in and bought one a few years ago). Once Mike and I “poached” Alta (I hiked, he skinned up his teles)- A guy ski-bunnied by in his one-piece outfit…and said, “I come here for a reason.” Legendary. I like Solitude best (enough wide runs for me to boogie – and not die).

So sick. And yes I am incredibly stoked for 2010. I love to watch the ‘old school’ standard films when shawn was still 10 but still throwing down some killer 3s.

that is pretty sweet.
BTW, solitude just installed a new high speed lift. I love snowbird but solitude is still a secret to most tourists. If tourists decide to venture to our side of the mountain they usually go to snowbird or Alta. Anyways, I wish I had been an early snowboarder but I was too little. My brother was so I figure I can talk a little trash. I remember though when I started I would hear guys saying “Hey that’s a chick” and I would feel cool so I did have an early start. Whatever, this is much too long. Excuse me.
