I have been snowboarding a few times, had a blast. I think that most people down here cross country ski, I have some friends who are fanatic about it, so Ill bet that I wouldnt have trouble getting started at all! I just wish that it wasnt so equipment intensive. The bowflex has a read out screen that I can put a book on, I usually study while Im on it. I should start swimming again, the pool here started a masters swim club. I was a lifeguard forever and swam competitively in high school. But you have to pay for that too! The club here has huge fees.
Sounds like yours is fun though! Hey, do you get studs for your bike tires?
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
