  Anybody out there familiar with "snowboarding"? It's seems to be really catching on here in CO. Basically, it's like surfing, except when you fall you get both wet and cold.

  AHA! One of the snow-boarder-squids posts. Actually, I have nothing against snow-boards; well, maybe just one little thing: unless a snow-boarder has excellent abilities, they tend to slide down the hill sideways, thus skinning the snow off of the hard-pack (read: "ICE").

  There are some skis around now with sidecuts much like a snowboard's. I wouldn't rush out to buy them though.
