All things lead back to the ocean.....

Post by Penopolypants »

Well, all things lead back to the ocean for me, at least. My new snowboard, bought today at REI's awesome clearance event:

Same here but I ski..and can take the big jumps with snowboarders. Why do we give up on the snow when we dive? It used to be my #1 thing until diving, I miss it.

My Morrow Master 169 and my K2 Eldorado 169 haven't seen snow for a couple of seasons and I live 45 minutes from the ticket window at Crystal! ](*,)

I have never snow boarded, but that is one of the great things about this area. Ocean to the west and mountains to the east. I used to go snowmobilling once a year before I started scuba diving. And I do miss Snowmobilling! Not enough money to do both, is my excuse. (We rented snowmobiles and a house for a weekend up near Leavenworth / Fish Lake ). :supz:

Beautiful Board...
I was addicted to snow skiing in a former life, before I was obsessed with diving.
I think I have only been a couple of times since getting certified!!!

Funny how that works ... I was obsessed with skiing for years. Used to be a ski instructor. Considered anything less than 30 days on skis to be a bad season. Even, in a younger day, did a pretty good imitation of a flying pig ...

Now I'm lucky if I get out on the skis one week-end a year.

Scuba rules my life ... not that I'm complaining, mind you ...

I've had every run at Stevens for breakfast, puked it up at lunch :vom: and ate it again for dinner! :supz: I think that's partly why I don't ride anymore. Stevens got way too small and way too crowded. After a couple of Epic years at Big White Canada and Big Sky Montana, unless I was at Baker, Washington snow just didn't do it for me anymore.

Snowboarding Injuries:
1)Seperated left shoulder.
2)Seperated right shoulder.
3)Hyperextended left knee.
4)Dislocated right shoulder.
5)Back sprain.
6)3 broken bones in left hand.
7)Seperated right shoulder again.
8)Sprained wrist.

Diving Injuries:
1)Broken finger.
2)Penelope kicked me in the b@lls.


For someone as accident prone as I am, methinks I'll stick to diving.

Pez, I've lost a little respect for you, with the WA snow comment. Try snowboarding outside of Las Vegas, on an old mountain made of man made ice, You spoiled brat. :boxing:
