thanks bob! my one year just passed and its been a great year. Started off with only a pair of crappy mountain dew give-away skis and beat up snoblades as well as some of the heaviest ski boots i've ever held. now I got 3 boards and another pair of skis plus some kick ass boots.
I was going into last season with less than 10 days on the slopes in my life and ended up getting around 23 days just last season. Doesnt sound like much, but its a start.
I planned for my next carving season in may when I started my summer class. Sure it took up 10 weeks of my summer, but if i played my cards right (which i did) I would get the hardest class for my sophmore year out of the way and have classes only 2 days a week. Getting probably 40+ days on the snow this year.
Because of snowboarding, my spending habits, and just plans for the future have completly changed. Needless to say, hardbooting took over my life.
Thank you all for making my first year on plates so awesome. Now, I'm just waiting for this 60 degree weather to go away so I could finally start using at least one of my three season passes.
P.S.: yeah i'm defintly a post whore. Way more at the begining of last season as I am now. I had too much spare time last year.
Here's to another kick ass, injury free season.
