Boarding upon the snow

 After  so many years in Southern California, we are ready to hit the hill and go snowboarding again. I am a little scared :) I haven't ridden my board in over 5 years, and it wasn't looking so good. The wax was old and had turned solid white. It was so bad that I couldn't even see my flying pigs on the back! Jared had a pretty nice board but when we moved to CA, it was lost in the shuffle. We aren't sure if it got stolen, sold, or just lost. SO we had to go find a board that would fit our small budget. Lucky for us, Play it again sports was having a HUGE sale this weekend and Jared found a board that he liked. The deck was 50% off so we only had to pay $15 for it! Yay! He was able to get brand new bindings for only $30. We were so happy to get it all for under $50 so it can put us on the hill. I'm excited to go and spend quality time with Jared.

We had to scrape/sand the wax off of the boards and then re-melt wax onto them. Ryan and Jared did that with a crappy clothes iron in the garage. Now we just have to get on the slopes.
