Boarding

For Christmas all three of my boys got new snowboards - X games here we come! They were so excited to get out and learn and what a better teacher then Erek to teach them. So they headed up to Snowbird for a day of riding in the new powder. Since we just got a foot of snow the day before they weren't the only ones heading to the slopes. It took them an hour and half to get up the canyon. Once they got there they said it wasn't too crowded, they just stayed on the small beginner lift. They did awesome. Lots of crashes, but lots of good rides too.
They had a great time but it was pretty cold. Then they made the great trip home. Again the drive took about an hour and half to get down the canyon do to a wreck and the walls of snow piled up everywhere. Pretty soon Erek realized he was running out of gas. Luckily, he was able to coast down the mountain at the snail pace of traffic but he made it to the park and ride lot at the bottom. Good thing because do to all the snow there was no where to pull off the road. He called up my brother Josh and he drove up there to give him some gas. Definitely, a memorable first ride out!
