Poachin powder...

finally the moment has come! I got to do two marvelous days of snowboarding with all new gear, reduced llift ticket prices, and plenty of powder to satisfy my cravings. It was great! Brett came with me today, and it was only his second time snowboarding. Not second season... second time. It was entertaining at first to see him eat snow so many times, but after awhile, I just felt sorry for the guy. He was doing waaay better than I was on my second day, that's for sure. Connected turns and everything! I was seriously impressed. He did have to ride my old beat up boad and about halfway through the day, one of the bindings broke, but he just kept on riding. What a trooper! Props to Brett! We'll see how he does next weekend when I take him through some powder :)

Here you can see that we didn't hesitate to start the day off right with a few Fat Tires. Gets you loosened up and warms you from the inside. By the end of the day though, we decided to switch over to some hot chocolate and schnapps for extra warmth. All around a very memorable weekend. Thinking I might see how the snow is over at Blacktail next weekend, and if it's anything like Big Mountain was, it's on!
