Well, I'm heading back north this weekend...well north west. After telling all my co-workers how wonderful the snow was at Snowshoe some of them got the itch to go there this weekend.  I fought long and hard trying not to go, but in the end Joni's encouragement of me going back up AND getting my own snowboard aided in my caving in...  I did try to get her to go with me, but in the end we decided that she would be better served by going first thing next season and taking lessons that would stick with her rather then taking lessons this weekend, and having an entire off season to forget them. Plus the van is full going up there, but that didn't happen until after we decided she woudln't go.  I'm looking forward to the tirp, but the plan is to leave Saturday Morning at 1am and get to the mountian at 8ish, ski all day and leave that night for home, getting back around 5am.  The price we pay to hit the slopes...
