Snowboarding Today
The nor easter forecasting 12+ inches of snow got myself and my nephew and fellow 
photographer Derrick up at 5am to make the trek to Mount Snow, Vermont today to catch some snowboarding. The roads were pretty slick, but we dropped the Jeep into 4 wheel drive and made it in about three hours.
I've been snowboarding since I was 15, and spent a few years pretty much snowboarding full time, so it is a passion of mine. Not as much snow as predicted, but the 6 inches we did get, made it worth while.
Last weeks 50 degree temperatures definitely put a damper on the base levels up north, but we are expecting another nor easter this week. So, hopefully we'll get the slopes back up to speed again. It was a great day. The snow was fast, but soft so we spent the day in the snowboard park hitting kickers, and riding rails. Definitely a great way to escape the computer, and have some fun.

HI Charles,
I haven't gone yet this year and I hear it's been great. Looks like you had great trip. I've been riding since I was 15 as well, 1986! Wow I just dated myself. I had to actually get certified to go on certain chairlifts back then. The certification came complete with a photo ID.
It was really great meeting you and Jennifer at the La Bella show and I hope we can connect again soon. Maybe even go riding, or hopefully see each other in Vegas.
Cheers,
Matt Grazier
