We are done with all the xMas stuff. It’s a New Year and my grand parents are still here which is fun. I’m starting up again in school on Monday Jan 5th, back to the normal school year. Still no snow in Boulder, I’m looking forward to some snowboarding in the mountains this winter.
Happy new year
January 3rd, 2009Could be white
December 10th, 2008Here is to my yearly mention of the Icelandic santas. You see they start arriving a little sooner than the American santa. They don’t travel in packs, one by one they come of the mountains. You can find a better description here. It’s been snowing on and off here in Boulder but the snow doesn’t stick. As it’s the usual one or two days of snow then it’s sunny again. Who knows if we will get white xMas or not, wait and see.
Btw I just learned that my friend Vincent in DC might make it for some snowboarding in February, that would be really cool. I will be able to show him my favorite spots here in Colorado.
Boulder Squirts in the news.
November 30th, 2008We made it into the local newspaper. It seems our team winning results don’t go unnoticed. We are still without a loss mid way through the season. Here is the news clipping which came just after I scored my two goals. I have been playing center for the last couple of games which I like better than defense.
Snowboarding
November 28th, 2008My father and I went up to the local ski place this week. Eldora was barely open, they had 2 lifts running and little snow. It was enough to get that first one in. Get used to the board again and the new boots which worked great. The weather was perfect at 55F sunny and little wind. It was a great winter season kick off day on the snowboard.
Ready for snow
November 23rd, 2008The snow is starting to stick in the mountains. My father and I went to the store to pick up a new pair of boots. Since I grew out of the last pair. We had to make a couple of adjustments to the snowboard setup to fit the bigger boots. Nothing we couldn’t handle and then it was time to try out the new setup.
