I have been slacking fo sho! My local resorts here in Cali have been open for about a mounth now. Mammoth was open in Oct., but I did noy make it up there and they closed. Now Mammoth is open again and I am scheduled to ride this weekend. I did make it to Las Vegas ski resort for the first time back in Oct. It was all man made snow with a few jibs and rails. The resort is about 45 mins. outside Las Vegas and was a nice little drive. I tried a Burton Condom for the first time and was all over the place! I must have looked like a kook :( oh well. It was still a lot of fun to snowboard again. Hope you have a great season!
