While I sit here blogging with a wicked case of the Monday’s I day nightdream about my sweet shred sesh I had just yesterday at Mt. Hood Meadows. When I lived in Colorado I would go snowboarding four times a week, basically any day I didn’t have school. Welp, I graduated from college and moved far away from any Mountain to enter the real world and find a j.o.b.

But it’s a good thing I moved to Portland a couple years ago, where the real world is almost non-existent. No one has real jobs, or hours, most people sling pizza for a living and it’s all good because your rent is only 400 bucks a month.

But even if you have a “adult” job, which I do, being a weekend warrior is still totally an option for you as there is a beautiful mountain a little over an hour away. I decided this year to buy a Spring Pass and wax up the ol’ board. It had been years since I’d been in the snow and while it’s not quite like riding a bike, it is still quite enjoyable. What’s so great about the Spring Pass though? The price is right: at $149 it pays for itself in two trips! I highly suggest it for anyone that has the itch to ride, but doesn’t have the dough that people with non-Portland jobs might make, so go get it!

This is me and my friend “geting it.” You can too if you buy a spring pass!
