First Day of Snowboarding

After a week's delay due to lack of snow, Sundance Resort opened its lifts yesterday. Well, they technically opened A lift yesterday. Still, despite the fact that only one run was open, and despite the fact that all but about half an inch of the snow had been made by snow blowers, some friends and I made the lengthy drive (15 minutes!) to welcome in the now-underway snowboarding and skiing season. We were not disappointed. 

The only run open was a beginner-level "green square," and the only ridable snow was man made. But we rode that run a good half a dozen times before calling it quits. Even on such a "tame" run, I got my share of thrills pointing the nose of my board downhill and letting gravity do what it does best.

To help everyone get stoked for the season, I have included a short snowboarding film, shot and edited by yours truly. Enjoy.
