4 Comments // Written on Dec 03, 2009 // Fun stuff, Travel, sports

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.

Weekly Photo – Thanksgiving Eve

No Comment // Written on Nov 25, 2009 // Photography, Weekly Photo

One year ago tomorrow I ventured out to do my first HDR photo. Timing is everything and that day was no exception.

To the West, a light rain was falling and the sun was setting behind the mountains, a combination that creates one of the most beautiful golden, orange colors. It’s a color I seen before, but it is indeed a rare treat. The sun glistening through the millions of droplets of water in the sky just intensify the colors.

Then to the East, the darkened sky contrasted the colors bursting through the full rainbow.

Here I was in the middle of this scene franticly taking HDR photos for the first time. Below is one of the HDR photos I took. It doesn’t do any justice to the colors I seen but you get a glimpse.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I know I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
