Snowboarding!

We have had a fun winter of snowboarding so far! We try to go once a week so that we can take advantage of our season passes to Grand Targhee. This week we remembered two important things!
1: To bring the camera
2: To bring the camera with a charged battery!


Today was a crazy day for boarding. It was hard because of the VERY low visibility. Grand Targhee has a bad reputation for this, it even is sometimes referred to as "Grand Fog-ee". Today we got stuck in a cloud most of the day, so we would find random bumps and get tossed to and fro. I got beat up quite a bit because I enjoy going fast too much. Sommer and I are also getting better at doing fun spins. 180s and 360s so far, but I even accidentally almost did a 540. We found a nice spot to practice these tricks of ours and kept going back to it because the lower part of that run was consistently "more" visible than the rest of the mountain. All in all it was a fun day!

No lip = No good!

I wish I would have got this!  I hit the record button but it took too long I guess to record.  Sommer almost had a 360 but the board ended up at the same level as he tummy and was in front of her.  She landed on her butt and a poof of powder flew all around her as she hit the ground.  It was fun to see!

Sommer leaned back a little too far on the first part and ate it.  She did score a 180 after that fail though.  Yahoo!

Sommer forgot her coat.  I didn't pack it because I thought she was a big girl.

My turn!  360 to fail to 360, woo woo!  I actually had a lot of fun riding out of my crash, I sure felt cool.

Here's a 510 degree spin onto tushie.

We challenge the Magic Carpet once again!

FOG!  I was actually hiding behind those trees!  We were at the summit and it was windy so while i waited for Sommer to catch up I hid behind the shelter of those withered trees...they didn't block very much by the way.

I got stuck.  Sommer made fun of me, now you can too!

I nearly ran into a tree and instead ended up being stuck.  Bummer.   It took me a while to get out, I felt pretty dumb, especially after I saw Sommer with the camera.  The hard part about it was that there was SO much powder that every where I put my arm it sunk down, so i couldnt find any leverage.

We got hot chocolate for free!  A Targhee employee asked us to do a survey and gave us vouchers to get hot chocolate!  yahoo!

Lunch was nice.  we are considered by Targhee to be picnickers and thats not a good thing.  They designate a small portion of their eating area for "our kind" but we snuck into the nice section because we had those hot chocolates.
