The Young Family

This last weekend was a crazy for Daryl at The Canyons Resort. The park at The Canyons was closed for the Nitro snowboarder team, only for a photo shoot to be on a cover of a magazine. It was fun watching the Kat drivers push the snow to make 75 ft. jumps and 20 ft drops. They had a log sticking out of the 20ft. drop. Everyone was thinkin this thing is nuts! At the time it was insane to think that people could do this. Once they had everything together it was time to test. Of course Daryl volunteers to be the tester. I was nervous for Daryl cause he had knee surgery this last summer and it takes a year for it to be 100% healed. Well come to find out not just him but his friends from the Canyons wanted to all participate in this event. Having your friends with you trying new events and learning new tricks pumps you up and makes it a whole lot more fun! It was AMAZING! They actually made it look so easy. Daryl was so comfident that it made me alot less nervous.

I thought it would be nerve racking to meet some of these pro snowboarders, but they are so nice. They made everyone feel comfortable and it just seemed like everyone was there for a good time just like us local folk. It was such a neat thing to see them do their tricks off of the 75 foot jump. It seriously is so different from seeing it in person than watching it on t.v. Daryl says "when you watch the event in person it pumps you up and makes you want to learn more tricks." Well, the professional snowboarders are going to be at The Canyons for a whole week. I look forward to watching more of their tricks and meeting new friends.
