Hey, that snowboarding looked awesome! That adds a whole new dimension to wheelin' as far as I'm concerned! Let's do another snow run, I'll bring some junk boards to ride, and we'll build a hit! Yeehaw!

Rick and Brandi, it was good to meet you both. That was a pretty fun hill to go up but we could only make it 5-10 more mintues up the trail after the top of the hill because the snow got so deep. We still had a good time though.

As it turned out, only 3 of us actually go to DU and the other guys who tagged along were friends of Andy somehow. Most of our club members didnt get the email from Andy about the trip because he managed to screw it up. O well, next time we should have a better group.

Did ya'll head home after we got split up or did you find some other trails?

Crux thanx but looks are decieving. On the way home my Alt came lose and so it started over heating i was lucky to make it to a target about half mile from my house and went in and walked around with the kids for awhile and was able to make it home and fix it.

MellamoPOUND it was nice meeting you also. I had fun but can't wait to get some gears and lockers on my rig. then i may make it up that.
