Words of Wisdom 

Just a little article i read in transworld i had to type it up!

Not everyone who rides a snowboard is a snowoarder, but those who do bear this illustrious title, it's an undeniable way of life. High School ends, and the road starts calling---off to mountain towns and the assimilation into weird, transient tribes full of people who work nighttime jobs cleaning toilets or handing you your coffee in the early mornings, all so they can shove a fistful of tips in their pockets and ride, their real motives betrayed by goggle tans or chins scuffed raw by Gore-Tex. In this world, people don't ask you what do you "do" they ask you where you work---knowing that what you do is snowboard, just like them, and any job you might have is simply means for it. Now, this life is not for everyone. You have to take guff at work from rich tourists peddling snobbery; steal furtive nights' sleep on lumpy, odd-smelling couches; Take fearful rides down in ski-patrol sleds with a broken wrist or bown knee; Spend holidays in the stink and sweatof a restaurant job---far from home and family; And of course, surrendercarefree college fun in favor of a different rite of passage. However for those who live it, al this is part of the reward---freedom from the chain-link fence of a nine-to-five and the privilege of being outside in the mountains every single day.

Now if this doesn't mean the world to you..... you are not a true snowboarder!
