Snowboarding

I seem to be hearing a lot lately about everyone around me who's going up to the mountains. The news this morning was interviewing people who took advantage of the 20 inches that the mountains got from the last storm, a buddy at work is going up tomorrow (he had to tell me about it), a customer is going up next weekend in time for the next storm. Me, this will be 3 years without going to the mountains ONCE! Its the nature of being in a business where you have to put in more hours when times are slow. If you have a family to support, that's the priority! Hopefully as Levi gets older we'll be in a better position to go up, I don't want him to miss out.

Until then, if I have to suffer, so do you. Here's a video of me cruising down the mountain (big bear) several years ago.

Why do you limit the outdoors activities covered on DDD?

I limit the interpretation on "outdoors" and "exploration" based on the human experience provided by activities. All the activities I have listed are "human-powered" ie: no motorized equipment, and all are non-team sports. I'm not trying to discriminate against football or basketball etc, I love those sports. The purpose of DDD is fathers to actively raise their children with an understanding of the world around us that can't be experience with organized sporting activities held in specific venues.
