Ever since I went to Mammoth, I&#8217;ve been in denial about how shitty I was at picking up snowboarding.  There was no way they could all do it and I couldn&#8217;t.  So after coming back to MI, I set out to learn.  It started out with boots.  How better to make learning more controlled than to get one&#8217;s own boots, right?  So we got boots and it didn&#8217;t stop there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say a week later, I took full advantage of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sierrasnowboard.com\" title=\"Sierra Snowboard\" target=\"_bluBlog\">sierrasnowboard.com<\/a>&#8216;s 40% off everything sale!  What perfect timing too since Valentine&#8217;s Day was fast approaching and my original gift idea pot is a little dry right now with all these important occasions coming up.  So there you have it, lots of money later, we both have our very own set of stuff to learn with.

We both ended up with DC Scout shoes with some sweet Boa laces.  Hers are sand and white with some, what I think is badass, camo mixed in on the sides.  Mine are a boring black and white.  The steep discount on everything helps calm my stomach churning from spending so much on such a new hobby.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/snowboarding\/tops.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet topsheet on the Lotus\"  \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/snowboarding\/lotus.jpg\" alt=\"Lotus Wo 147 detail\"  \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/snowboarding\/installing.jpg\" alt=\"Yay\"  \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/snowboarding\/ace.jpg\" alt=\"Ace 157 detail\"  \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/snowboarding\/bases.jpg\" alt=\"Again, sweet base on the Lotus\"  \/><\/div>\n<p>:jittery: :wallbash: :jittery: :wallbash: :jittery: :wallbash: :jittery:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest hobby has become snowboarding.
