Whitney has been begging Mike to take her snowboarding while they were on holiday break. He finally gave in (begrudgingly) and took them on New Years Eve. Landon and Teegan decided they wanted to give it a try so they tracked down boards and headed to the slopes. I wish I could have gone up and taken pictures but it is a bit to cold for me :). Mike took a few pictures with his cell phone.







It looks like they had a great time. I have to admit I have never been skiing/snowboarding. I know I have lived in Utah my whole life and never been, believe me I have heard it. I am not sure why I never went? My parents weren't skiers and my two older sisters didn't really enjoy their lessons so I guess by the time it came to me they gave up.
Mike on the other hand was quit the skier in his day :). He used to be a regular hitting the resorts every weekend and when they got bored they would explore the back country. He and his friends would go up and build jumps and do flips and such. Mike even pulled a triple back flip once (he says it is on video somewhere ;)). In fact, I think the first gift I ever gave him was skis. It was our first Christmas when we were dating and I got him some skis he had been looking at. I sent him on a scavenger hunt to find them and they ended up in our bath tub.
So what happened to his passion for skiing? He married me and I converted him to a beach bum.
