I spent WAY too much money, but I totally love it

So I just bought a new Macbook and the 2007 Burton Custom X with the 07 CO2 Bindings. The total cost of these 2 purchases? Way too much. Almost an entire month's salary. Its okay in some respect since I've been saving for the Custom X for about a year now, and the Macbook was partly financed as a birthday present from the 'rents. Now, my major purchases for this year are done (except for PS3), and while this may sound shallow, nice things definitely give you nice feelings!

Where should I go to snowboard

Since the weather is turning colder, my thoughts have been turning to where to go on my annual snowboarding trip with the crew. This year, Chueeey (a main instigator) is going to be in South America, so it looks like its just going to be me, Warren, and Wooly (with the possibility of a couple of other people joining us). Last year I missed the expedition to Kicking Horse, but this year I have plenty of vacation saved up to do an epic eight day board till you can't anymore marathon.

After extensive discussion, it looks like Park City, Utah is going to be our destination. I am super pumped about this. Ever since the 2002 Olympics (note one of the greatest Olympics ever because Canada won the Gold Medal), I've wanted to head out there. Park City has become quite a popular locale, the Sundance Film Festival is held here in addition to the awesome skiing. However, the reason I am looking forward to this trip is the pure unadulterated POWDER. It is going to be insane, I am already excited about it now, and its still 4 months away!!!!
