Welcome to the 2007-2008 Adventures of the BFGSC!

Halloween is tomorrow! That means a couple things, time to dress up and party and then snowboard season is just around the corner. I have a new knee and am ready to go. Get those boards out and stayed tuned for the kickoff event November 10th at Jack's Waxing Party!

Comments:

It was the annual wax your snowboard party at Jack's. It was great to see the BFGSC crew again even though we had some members missing (you know who you are). And yes your eyes are not deceiving you that is me waxing my own board. I broke down this year and did it myself. Greg said it was the best wax job ever! It looks like the group has been making trips to Coates MN BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNS!

Hopefully the next post is very soon meaning we will be on the slopes!

Saturday December 1st, 2007 Lutsen

Snow & Weather: 22 degrees Snowing

Vertical feet & runs: 11,320 feet 18 runs

Season Total: 11,320 feet 18 runs

Comments: Rode with cuz Jeff. He made me drink too many beers the night before. It was first day out for season and first day on new knee. It went really well. We shredded Moose Mountain and we rode in a snowstorm for the 2nd half of the day. We are gonna see Brother Ali at Papa Charlie's tonight. We had impressive numbers for first day out for the year. I was sad that Bridge Run wasn't open yet. Cuz Jeff is the only true snowboarder I know! My hands got cold because I now have skinny fingers. We got to bar at 3:30pm and it is now 5:50pm and CJ is making me stay here. Six Blue Moons make Matt drunk and CJ weird. I think Stheve might make an appearance tonight.

Jeff: It was a good first day. There was real snow falling pretty much all day. We're going to see Brother Ali tonight which should be pretty sweet. Hopefully they will actually serve us at the bar unlike earlier in the day.

Greg and I rode together all day and were going for 20k vertical feet but stupid lift lines prevented that.
