Not all that much going on with us. We're staying pretty busy with snowboarding. This last weekend we went to Trollhaugen (save yourself the $30 of gas and go to Buck Hill) for the 10pm-3am snowboarding special. That place is extremely lame… They have 3 lifts (only 2 were open) and just a handful of trails. The only reason we went was to snowboard with Mike and Polly- they like to go for the late night deal of $15/lift pass. Amanda, Nathan's boss came with too. We all got a bit liquored up, courtesy of Trollhaugen's bar, and that made the boarding fun. The whole night we just laughed and laughed and laughed. Suprisingly our slight intoxication didn't affect our boarding all that much… We got home around 5am.
In the future we will probably go boarding at our local Welch and hit up the bar there, no need to spend that much $ on gas/lift passes when we've already paid to board at Welch. It was nice to board with Mike and Polly but next time hopefully they'll come to Welch.
This past Sunday we bought our passes to Welch for next year, they're trying to sell as many passes for next year as they can right now so they can get the new back bowl open, I hope they're able to!!! That would be great to have even more runs available! Plus by buying them early we got em for $226 a person!!! Craigslist made it happen again, I love it!!! I just posted on there and within a few days had another couple in for the fill-a-quad. We're saving eachother's emails as well so we can meet up next year too hopefully…
Not much else going on. This weekend we'll probably try and get as much boarding in as possible. The season is quickly coming to a close. Our Lutsen weekend is less than 2 weeks away!!! I'm so excited about that! A free Saturday of boarding at Spirit and then Sunday and Monday at Lutsen!
Anywho, hope all is well with everyone!!!
