What a thrill!

A quick update
We were able to hike into some areas that still had some snow so that we could snowboard. It was almost pure ice so it was a bit difficult but we did it.

We were able to get 2 successful runs on the Street Luge in this morning. We got up some speeds of about 34 miles per hour and it was such a thrill! Some big trucks and a few cars pulled over to watch us make our runs.


The rappelling was probably the most breathtaking event so far. When we were at the top we were able to see some amazing views ( I will upload some photos here later as we drive to the desert) . We went down an 80 foot sheer cliff and then had another 30 foot drop after a small plateau. Both Ryan and I were pretty scared while preparing at the top but after being up there and catching our breath, we both made our desent to the bottom.

We are running about 10 minutes behind schedule but we expect to make that up in the next 3 events; mountain biking, mountain boarding, and Carve boarding.

More updates and photos to follow!
