fall sometimes leads to snow.

So…
I know this may seem a bit early. I blame it on the fact that I’ve been drinking inordinate amounts of chai tea lately and the fact that Craig (the heat miser himself) actually turned on the heat the other night, or the fact that I actually got to see some of the fluffy white stuff this weekend in Sun River…but… I’m actually starting to think snow. I’m not trying to jump the gun because I absolutely adore autumn and am in no hurry for the winter snow, but with colder weather inevitably comes thoughts of snow. This got me thinking of snowboarding. I haven’t gone regularly for a few years…ever since I got stuck in that horrible leg brace with crutches, but I think I may give it an earnest go this season. My one complaint is that I wish I had better/cuter gear to use on the mountain. Most of my stuff (besides the new jacket my wonderful husband bought me) is basically ancient.

Here’s what I’d wear/ride if money was no object:
I always get teased for liking boards simply for their graphics, but this is the perfect hybrid of a cute graphics and solid design. This board was voted one of this year’s best women’s snowboards (over $400) by Transworld Snowboarding’s “Good Wood” experts.
