    Kite boarding: Anyone?

    While the last thing I need is another expensive hobby, a guy I know that runs a shop in durango has gotten really into kite boarding and was peaking my interest. The nice thing is that you can get kites that work for both winter snowboarding and summer wakeboarding. Anyone ever done it? If...

    Wolf Creek 12/4/05

    :shock: OMG, I'm beat. I think I rode the deepest powder I've ridden in 5 years. They opened the Alberta Lift at 11:00am after a few really nice and loud explosions. they were only reporting 16 inches from Fri/Sat, but as no one had ridden the area the snow was almost too much. As Sharon said in...
