Snowboarding

A few pics of the boys' first snowboarding trip of the season. They've both been dying to get up. The conditions have been horrible this year and Nathan chose to play basketball instead of doing the snowboarding bus. So, between busy schedules and not enough snow in the mountains we didn't get up to the Pass until February. Garrett got a snowboard from Santa this year so this was his first attempt ever. He was so excited. He did GREAT!!!!! By the end of the first hour he was making turns and had mastered stopping. Granted the incline was pretty flat but his confidence was awesome. He was begging to go on the chairlift! We did the magic carpet for about 2 hours while Nater rode Little Thunder (and by "we" I mean Quinn - I was taking pictures!) We took a break and Garrett and I went into the Lodge for dinner while Quinn and Nathan went on one of the longer runs. Then Nater joined us in the lodge while Quinn took a few runs at his speed. We had a blast and the boys begged to stay longer. We're going over to Mission Ridge next weekend so they won't have to wait long to go again.
