Location: Salt Lake City, UT

This will probably basically be the last post about snowboarding for a while, now that it’s spring, we’re going to more National Parks and stuff.
We finished our snowboarding season yesterday at Brighton, where we started. We did almost every double black diamond on the mountain, and had a lot of fun. Total mountains we’ve been to are as follows:
UTAH:
- Brighton
- Snowbird
- Sundance
- Park Cities
- Canyons
- Wolf Mountain
- Solitude
COLORADO:
- Durango Mountain
- Wolf Creek
- Telluride
- Crested Butte
- Monarch Mountain
- Kendall Mountain
- Arapahoe Basin
- Loveland
- Copper Mountain
- Buttermilk
- Aspen Snowmass
- Sunlight
- Steamboat
I’ve done about 47 Black Diamonds (I’ve done more blacks than greens!), 8 Double-Black Diamonds, a whole lot of Blues (probably more than 100), and some greens (and some double greens and double blues). We did Back Country, and a lot more stuff which I’ll list below.

We had amazing times at all the resorts, and I got a lot of footage with which I’m going to make a video with mom (Snowboarding 2014). I have a few more pictures accessible right now, so I’m going to put those in this post and make another post for the videos and other pictures



We’re at our friend’s house in Salt Lake City, and today Isaac and I are going to find some of the many big Geocaches in the back hills behind their house. I can’t wait to go to Las Vegas and other places soon. Thanks for reading and looking at the pictures.
WOW! What a trip! You have learned quite a bit. That is cool. Thanks for sharing.
