Sail Boarding?!

Fourth time snowboarding today!! It was an amazing experience.... Yesterday I got a text from this girl in my ward asking me if I wanted to go to the canyons, which is a ski resort. Of course I couldn't turn down the invite. I have been wanting to go again before the end of the season but I didn't want to pay a full day pass price!! Someone had given her two free day passes to the Canyons. The weather was great when we got there, it was sunny and I was expecting to get a bit of tan (on my face). At around 2pm a freaking blizzard came through!!! It was snow like crazy and the wind was like 30mph!! Some of the gusts of wind were even stronger! At times I felt like a sail. I could feel the wind sort of pushing me down the mountain and towards one side of the slope. It was actually kind of cool! Included with this entry is a video of me going down the mountain. I'm getting much better!!!!

Chilly Night Boardin'

So I went snowboarding again last night for my third time ever!!! It was BY FARRRR the best time I've had yet!!! Sooo much fun! and the snow was great! Plus, it stayed light til about 8pm. the only thing I would have changed was the temperature. When we first got up to Brighton ski resort it was like 18 degrees or so outside. Now 18 degrees is pretty dang cold, but it really wasn't all that bad. By the end of the night the temperature (in the parking lot) was 4. So, I'm guessing that at the top of the lift the temp was below zero!! That's dang cold for March 31st!
One time on the lift I took off my gloves to answer my phone and put on my glove liners (cuz it was getting colder). In just that amount of time, my right-hand finger tips felt frostbitten. They warmed up again about 5 min later as I descended the mtn. On the way down the mountain the snot in my nose froze.......just imagine little icicles hanging from my nostrils- yep I know that is sick, but it is truly what happened!! My roommate Joel verified it.
