thanks for the tip, I didn't know that. For as cold as it was they both did pretty good. They had 8 runs (4 then a break then another 4). On a good day I can get 12-14 out of them. It's just kind of a hassle at this age to get them all dressed in layers of clothes, boot up, go to the mountain and by the time I feel warmed up they want to take their first break or go home.

I noticed they removed cross mountain also

looked like they were blowing a lot where the pipe will be on Sunday. (1/21)

It was so fun. Papa I am sure I am ruining your rep when you hang out with me (haha). God I sucked on Bunny's elbow. I have to practice more. I dont know why It felt so steep. We'll be back in 2 weeks.

Last year I let my kids (then age 5 and 7) invite two friends to go ice skating. that was an interesting day.

ok Megan I am going to keep an eye out for you. I just really want to get him on the park. I think if he could just do one easy box or something his confidence would return. He's not riding well this season. I am sure it has to do with the fact that last season he was always with the snowmonster program. That usually meant him and an instructor to himself (usually PHilly). He needs to meet some kids to hang out with. Even though I am keeping up with him better, I am his mom for god's sake and that is no fun.

If anyone wants to do a good deed for the day...take David on the terrain park. I tried to convince him to hang out with Megan and her crew Christmas week, but half way there he punked out. I think he is intimidated. The snowmonster program won't take kids on the park anymore for liability issues. Last season he did the coffin box in the park (just straight, no tricks) and was so proud of himself. I would hear him telling his friends about it.

Mike and Matt' is a great place. My brother bought a board there last season. It was his first board and they spent so much time with him and answered all of his questions. This season he needed one of his boots remolded and they hooked him up for free. I don't know if that's standard but I thought it was nice

Thanks but I'm already on my second husband

We haven't been there since New Year's Eve....can't wait. We can't make it to the Pasr day the following weekend. I would love to meet some new faces.

that is amazing! I showed the link to David and he flipped out that he knows someone "famous" Congrats Steven!

Jesus how old do you think I am! (haha) Anyway if you are ever at jfbb let me know we can introduce our boys.

my husband is using the pa house for a testosterone manly man weekend with his friends. No girls allowed, so I can't go until next weekend

I learned how to ski there too.

I agree. I have an expedition too. But I use mine to tow my camper and I am always driving my kid's friends + ski/board gear in the back takes up space

I don't think I could even stay up until 3am but it sounds fun

I agree his posts are always well written, he doesn't just talk trash

nice pics

My kids have had instruction at jfbb the last 2 seasons. And for 3 hours of on the snow instruction (and babysitting) you can't beat it. My older son has made friends with several instructors and they stop and say hi every time they see him in the lodge (he feels cool haha).

yeah I went to girl scout camp in north jersey and got eaten alive by mosquitos, but I still remember it being a blast. I wish they had camps this cool when I was a kid

ok nevermind....when the boys got home from school I showed them the website of a camp. I told them that they would be in their own room (without parents) with other boys their age. I showed them all the after mountain activities. They absolutely flipped and they want to start packing right now. Problem solved. We are going to Dave Murray ski and snowboard school. They take kids as young as 7 (which is how old Stephen will be by June).

Does anyone know if there is a snowboard camp going on for Easter break? I have been checking online and the only one I saw was in Vermont but it was during the week not on a school holiday. I talked to David about the summer camps out west (even Whistler) but I just don't think he is emotionally ready to go. (even if I went with him) I don't want to drop that kind of nut for nothing. If there was a place that we could drive to over break, that would be great.

That picture is so great!

I am a passholder and my six year old skis for free. They told me to carry a copy of his birth certificate just in case anyone asks, but no one ever has
