"S" went with some friends of ours who took good care of Sydney on only her second trip to the mountains snowboarding.
She was up there for 5 days, and got in a lot of boarding. She actually went on some very difficult runs, from beginner to advanced runs.
She is growing so fast that she had to borrow some cold weather snowboarding pants.
It was very warm up there on some days. It was in the mid 50's. She borrowed the snowboard, but we went and bought her some boots ($20) not bad. We are looking into the after season sales for a board, and bindings for her.... we'll see.
