Anyone want to head up on the 4th and split the cost of a motel room? i don't revel in getting up at the crack of bullshit to drive a-muscle-stiffness-inducing 4 hours before snowboarding.

@matto: It might be that we like the sport, as opposed to the weather, though in my case, I love snow.

Having lived in Hawai'i, I can say that never having to check the weather channel got boring. Give me good old South Dakota, where the temperature changed 62°F, from 49°F at 6:00 A.M. to -13°F at 8:00 A.M. That is what I call exciting.

I completely wish that I could make the trip out, as I would love to hang with some other gadget freaks, and I hate to pass up a chance to board. Hope you all have fun.

@nutbastard: let me get this straight. You have a segway, but you don't have a car stereo? I know the two are mutually exclusive, but how does one spend that much money on a gadget, and not have the $300 to put a radio in a car?

You sir, are an enigma wrapped in a question with a crispy coating of confusing on top.

but you're just a big sweetheart so i won't even bother you with the implications that would follow if your comment was meant to be rude...

Ok people:

You can ride with me but recognize that i smoke cigarettes like a fucking feind, and i just realized i haven't come up with a good way to stuff multiple snowboards into my 2 door civic, so it might be best if i only have 2 passengers. Oh yeah and theres no stereo in my car, but i do have an inverter with a USB port for iPod charging and a 110 outlet for whatever else, maybe i'll jerry-rig my computer speakers into this bitch for the trip.

What a bummer, gotta work.
Since I work ER front desk at the hospital in Truckee, I could see a few of you there.
Alpine rocks, especially the trauma park, oops, terrain park. Huck one for me. Remember, you don't get hurt in the air...

Hey raspberry Muffin tops or raspberry hips or raspberry facials (HA! I said facials...)

Ok, train of thought derailed.
Dammit.
Now I want an actual raspberry muffin. No clue where I was going with that but I'm hungry now.

Because out here on the west coast we get tired of having a perfect climate - and snowboarding is unlike anything else in the world. It's like having sex with mother nature.
