No sleeping in this weekend! Saturday I headed off to Winter Park for some snowboarding. Boulder was supposed to have a high of 8 degrees, but it was supposed to hit 20 in the mountains. Thankfully the forecast was correct, and the weather was great, as was the snow. I finally got to try out the new snowboard, and I like it a lot so far. I wore my GPS watch during the boarding, and recorded a bunch of interesting statistics (at least to me).

We descended around 18,000 vertical feet during the 5 hours we snowboarded.

I hit 38 miles an hour trying to cross a really flat spot on the mountain.

We boarded down 16.25 miles, but rode up 11.5 miles of chairlifts.

It was truly an epic day of snowboarding.




Sunday we got up early so that I could start the heater up in the garage. My teammate Ted headed over around 9 and we started working on his 30 pound robot for the February competition in Philly. I'm not sure if it'll be done in time, there's still a lot of work to do.



Kristen and I did a bit of cooking Sunday evening, and re-watched season one of The Office. While I enjoy the American version, I'd forgotten how great the British version is.
