Mike, where are you hitting a bunny hill?
Probably as soon as Afton is open.

Here is how i see it. Snow-bored,
That doesn't sound like fun to me.
I'm just saying! Snow-way I'm getting
On one of those things. It doesn't sound
Funski. If I go that route; I'm thinking
Maybe a toboggan! You can't fall from
Down from your starting out position
And you have a dry spot to rest on when
You need to take a break. I'm thinking
I could design one with a can holder and
Who knows where you could take this;any
Ideas?

I stopped over at Hoigaards, but this stuff is too old. The guy was very helpful, and is a snowkiter himself, but no old K2 washers around.

I tried getting some new screws at the hardware store, but no luck there either. They need to be about 2mm shorter, or I need to get a foam pad of some kind to put between the binding and board.
