I know how you feel about not being able to hit the slopes... This may sound funny, but I work at a ski resort (Summit at Snoqualmie) and I have barely been able to hit the slopes this year!
The reason is I have classes (Central Washington University) Mon-Thur, then I work Fri-Sun. Kind of puts a damper on the snowboarding.
I was able to take my X out last week, couldn't get very far back into the canyon I like to 4x4 in, but was still fun. I will be happy when all the snow is gone so I can 4x4 down the canyon to my fishing hole
