Here is all the details:

Snowboarding in Sunrise, AZ.

Saturday, Jan 16th – Monday, Jan 18th.

Quick Details: Staying in spacious 3 bedroom/3 bathroom cabin in the Pinetop, approx. 3 hour drive from the East Valley. Will leave Saturday (if you want to go boarding Saturday, leave early) and be back around 4:00 – 5:00 pm Monday. We will spend all day Sunday snowboarding! The rest of the time we hang out and enjoy the mountains and party it up.

Cost: Approx $100/per person . Covers 2 night stay in cabins, 1 all day lift ticket, dinner for Saturday and Sunday night. First 4 couples to pay reserves their bed. Anybody after that needs to bring sleeping bag/air mattress. $40 deposit required to secure your spot due ASAP. Final $60 due weekend before Sunday, Jan. 10th. (Special arrangements can be made if necessary)

Transportation: Carpool with everyone! (Leave in comments if you need a ride) I recommend carpooling and splitting gas cost.
Sign up: Comment on the blog (or text me!) with your name and anybody you might bring. Please try to pay or promise to pay ASAP. Rent your snowboarding gear in Phoenix! I recommend Sports Chalet. Cost to rent is about $45 for the weekend. You will need to buy your own snow goggles, I recommend Big 5 Sporting Goods.

This date is coming up fast so act quickly. Plus we can be the first ones up and by pass hour long lines if we have our lift tickets and snowboard gear since a lot of people will go up unprepared. Sunday we will be getting up early and leaving right away to go to the snow, please take showers and get all ready Saturday night.

If you have never been snowboarding, you will fall many times but you’ll get it down by the end of the day. A lot of people who are going know how to board so they can help you out if your rookies!

Other notes:

Other notes: Saturday the mountain is open for night snowboarding only $22!!. Feel free to go to that.

We were live on the set of NBA on TNT to see the halftime show televisted on TV. Also got a pic with one of them which I’ll post later on. If you were watching me and a bunch of my Filipino friends were jumping up and down in the front row of the bleachers! Stay tuned for more photos from the All Star Weekend.
