Shredfest 5.0

Well this is Maui again, Desi is slacking on her blog so I guess I'll fill in the gaps, although that means you have to read about more snowboarding... So Shredfest is an annual event that I started 5 years ago, as all my friends and I have gotten older a lot of them have moved on and left the state to be high power attorney's, or grad students, or PhD's of some sort or another. We have been spread out a crossed the nation, but a lot of them still return home to Utah around Christmas time. So we get together once a year with whoever is in town and hit the slopes. This was the 5th Shredfest and it was awesome. It was puking snow over the Christmas holiday, and we showed up on Saturday the 27th to Brighton. As we got in line for the crest lift we found out that this lift was broken for the past 3 days!! That means that no one had riden these runs for the last 3 days that it had been puking snow! Powder Powder Powder all day long. Good times. Shredfest 5.0 Crew This was

Well as you can tell by my capitilzation, this is Maui. The past three Wednesday's in a row have been "Quad Wednesday" at Brighton. You can get a lift ticket for 1/4 the price. I've been hitting it up with a friend of mine, and this last Wednesday the 17th Desi was able to come with us. It was a great day. Sun shine, new snow, and really really really cold. Tuesday night I asked Desi if she might want one of her Christmas presents early. Of course she assumed that she got a new snowboard, so I tried my best to disappoint her and say "new board what are you talking about?", but in the end I guess she's pretty smart. So she got to unwrap this: We had a fun day, with some of our friends. Although it got cut a little short, something about Desi wanting to get home to Nixon or something like that, anyway here are a few pics from the day.
