Sather

If you are a serious snowboarder you like to catch some air and realize that not every landing comes out exactly as planned. Now then when you do eat it, I am sure that you want to wipe out in clean snow. Not treated water made into snow, snow that smells or for God's sake yellow snow; the worst of all.

Two years ago if I mentioned this you would think I was on drugs like those wannabes which hang out in the lodge all day smoking skunk bud. But these days you never know what the snow will be made out of and we all know you can tell the difference as there is not anyone being fooled out there. Artificial Snow is sooo obvious indeed.

Snowboarding has seen better days, but with the Global Warming and droughts many cities are only allowing Treated Water for Snow Making at Resorts, as part of their; Water Conservation Plan during Level II Drought Years. Yuk! Yes, that is what I said too the other day when someone told me about it.

In fact Flagstaff Arizona is yet another city to go for the Water Conservation treated snow scheme. And they still want to charge us for snowboarding in that smelly mess do they? Well, just to let you know, I tried it and it was not so bad really. But the first day I was not convinced at first.
