Now I must brag to defend my lifestyle choices to all the citi-its/tour-ons (sound it out) of SD!
Last weekend, I spent Saturday skiing 2 feet of Utah quality champagne powder (45 mins from my door) and rounded it out with 10 pitches of glorious sierra trad climbing on sunday (30 mins from my door) while working on my sun tan. So if you want to defend you smog filled traffic jam existence in the over priced crap holdem of sd suburbs…well color me skeptical!
And make no mistake, this is a normal weekend for me…I am Yosemite bond next weekend for a short route up the backside of half dome![/quote]
Get back to me when you can eat lunch during the weekday while watching the waves crash against the shores. Or when you can go swimming in your outdoor pool in the middle of winter (was around 70-80 degrees this past Christmas). Or the ability to get Carne Asada Fries on a whim. Snowboarding/skiing is not a cheap sport, so when I do it (2-3 times a year), I rather explore different resort/mountain every time I take a trip. Life’s too short and there are so many great mountains around to keep on going back to the same mountain.
