snowboarding

Pants and I finished our third day of snowboarding at this resort an hour outside of the city. They had this deal for newbs: $100, 3 lift tickets, 3 rentals, 3 lessons. I had a blast, and so did Pants, who before our first day had never been skiing, snowboarding or even sledding. It was her first time on a snowy hill. She liked it so much, we're talking about getting a season ticket next year -- $300 for the "limited" season pass (which means, on weekends, it's not good at the sister-resort up the street -- you can still go to the sister resort on weekdays, though) or $360 for the "unlimited" (good at the sister resort at all times). Pays for itself after 6 trips since usually lift tickets are $48. I'm totally psyched.
