Well, as you know, I’ve had a couple skiing/snowboarding adventures of late. It gets pretty expensive after a while, with buying the lift ticket and renting equipment. Also when you rent your own equipment, you need to get used to a new board, new shoes and you have to worry if everything will fit you correctly, or if the boots smell or how worn the equipment is, and it takes about an hour out of your day to wait in line and go through the motions.

So we thought of a solution.

Buy our own boards!!!

Muhahahaha….

Since it’s the end of the season here, there are sales everywhere. Sportmart is having an awesome sale on snowboards. Most of them are 25% - 55% off. That includes bindings, boots, bags and other accessories. And if you buy a board, boots and bindings at Sportmart, you get an extra 10% off the whole package.

That’s a pretty sweet deal!

But the toughest thing is finding a board, because at Sportmart, there are a LOT of ugly boards there. Ugly and damaged, since they’ve been out all season for people to pick through. We also discovered that every Sportmart here has a different selection of boards.

But I was able to find THE ONE. It was almost like finding my wedding dress. I saw some different boards and thought, ‘Ehh, that’s nice…’ ‘This one looks okay…’ But then I found HER. As soon as I saw her, I knew it was meant to be.

So let me introduce you to Kitty.

The SIMS Mystique

Isn’t she pretty? First of all, she’s purple. Second, she’s got a cape and a little cat mask on. Can’t you just picture me wearing this get up?

Well, if you can’t, I want you to know that I’m going to sew myself this exact outfit so I can match my board as I go down the slopes. Can you imagine me in a purple cape and cat mask whizzing down the mountain? Hahahahaha…

So where am I getting all this money? I don’t know. Me and Dave decided not to go to the movies, have boba shakes or eat at Todai for two months. And after a couple years, the boards are going to pay for themselves, so it doesn’t matter anyway. So really, it’s not costing THAT much, at least that’s what we’re fooling ourselves to think…

So YAY! I’ve got a snowboard!
