Little trip to Manning park
« on: December 26, 2003, 07:33:07 pm »
So some of my friends and family are going to venture up to Manning park for some skiing/snowboarding on Monday morning.

We will be leaving Chilliwack at 8:00 am.

I know its sorta early, but it will be best that way.

Oh and I am going to try out snowboarding for the first, so it might be worth it just to watch that   :oops:

So I mostly skiied, but I did trade up with Chris for his board for 2 runs.  He couldnt get into the skiing so he wanted his board back.

I did enjoy it and on the second run I only wiped out once!!  Hehe, it is fun.

I couldn't make it on monday... However, maybe on the weekend if you want to go again or something I might be up for it.  I went up on saturday and on the way down got hit by 3 other vehicles on the skating rink they call a road.  Don't worry though, I was in my mom's SUV.

no real damage, some paint scratches, but yeah, it was like being in a big pinball machine...  :roll:

I was hoping someone would write it off so I could talk mom into a new Altima or something cooler, oh well, maybe next weekend   :wink:
