Fuel TV - Food for the Snowboarders Soul
For those who don't know, Fuel TV is a 24 hour Action Sports cable channel, sort of a CNN for adrenaline junkies. Snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, mountain biking, and other action sports are shown over and over again - it's enough to make an out-of-snow snowboarder weep! Although the channel programs less snowboarding and skiing content in the summer, there's still enough to keep the shakes at bay. This past weekend, I was able to relax on the couch while watching snowboarding for a full hour!
The snow is still far, far away for me, but I guess I'm used to it at this point in my life. It won't be until August that I really start to lose it - cranking the A/C down as low as it will go and watching snowboard movies in full dress! In the meantime, the occasional glimpse of others enjoying the snow on TV should be enough to get me through the day!

Or, you could come home !!
You could pay a visit to Windells for some quality on snow time.
So true, Tim…So true. Would you be willing to write a note to my boss to get me out of work for a few days (or weeks?!)? I’m already the only employee who uses almost all allotted vacation time in the winter, which got me some strange looks at first!
In case you don’t know, Tim’s referring to the Windells Snowboard Camp on Oregon’s Mt. Hood, which hosts a variety of summer skiing and snowboarding camps.
