Shredding.

So yesterday we were lucky enough to get to go enjoy the snow at Sundance for half the price! Dan went to the BYU basketball game the night before and they announced that you could take your tickets from the basketball to Sundance and use them as a 2 for 1 pass. So we took advantage of that obviously! It ended up being 15 dollars per person!!! That is just about as good as it gets, aside from free!

It was also very exciting because it was Dan's first time to go snowboarding, ever. And he did a great job! He fell quite a bit on the first run down, which is totally expected. And we took him all the way to the top of the mountain for his first run, which was a little scary with the hundred foot drop offs on the side and him not really knowing how to steer, at all... I also felt super bad, because I was just laughing so hard at first because he kept falling and it was kind of funny to watch. Plus it reminded me of learning, which I still am... haha. There was one time when I wasn't laughing though because there was this girl in a red jacket (just like Dan) that I confused for Dan. And she fell SUPER hard, like the pin-wheel type fall. I was so scared he was hurt and would want to walk down the mountain and then go home. But luckily as I got closer, I realized it was in fact a girl, and not Dan. Anyway, but the rest of his run he did an awesome job! On the last few times down, I am pretty sure he fell less than I did. It was super icy up there and I just kept hitting the ice and falling! I was so mad, but still loved being there obviously.

It was also great because Nick came along with us. So Nate and Nick could zip downthe mountain at 50+ miles an hour!!! And then Dan and I could take our time down, at like 15 miles an hour. Really, it was just such a blast! It is always fun to ride the lifts together and catch up on life as well between runs.

Then of course the food after was the delicious choice of Pizza Pie Cafe. All the pizza you can and/or want to eat! And I would say we took advantage of that. I was especially impressed with Nick when he came back to the table at least eight pieces of pizza for his third plate and then ate all of them! It is fun going there because they have all kinds of creative pizzas like ones with potatoes on them, BBQ, and buffalo wings. Plus you get to sample all of them! And then there are the dessert pizzas, such as cookie dough and oreo. They were quite tasty as well. Half the fun of going snowboarding is definitely the food after! All in all I would say it is one of the best ways to spend a Friday night!
