Sunrise Snowboarding Trip

So as i mentioned in our last post, we went Snowboarding this weekend us at Sunrise. You may be thinking "Where the hell is Sunrise?" and that's a fair questions. The answer is that Sunrise is just outside of Greer and Showlow Arizona. Our trip started on Thursday afternoon when we headed up to Payson to stay the night and have an amazing dinner with Lynn, DeAwna, Brennon, and Stevie. It was an amazing dinner followed by a night filled with rounds and rounds of the game 'boxers or briefs'. We were joined by Jeremy for the game portion.

The next morning we got up around 5:30 to head to the slopes. After driving for about 3 hours we pulled up to the mountain and got all ready for our day of fun on the hill. After a few runs on the bunny hill we stepped it up and went up the mountain to try something a little more challenging. After making a few long runs it was time for lunch. Nothing says "Snowboarding" like Mexican food, so we got some Mexican food and hot chocolate before heading up the mountain to make a few more runs. After snowboarding we headed to the Hon-duh resort and casino to hang out for the evening. After an "interesting" dinner at the casino we ended the night by watching the lamest Olympic sport ever, ice dancing. It's basically figure skating without any throws or jumps. The next morning we work up early and started making our way home for work that evening. Along the way were were able to grab some breakfast at a quaint roadside cafe and checked out an abandoned town in the middle of nowhere, somewhere between Showlow and Globe.

Reflecting back on the weekend, there wasn't anything i would really change. A great trip, with great people, and great weather. What more could you ask for. The pictures below are some of the pictures from our trip. If you would like to see more pictures, check out one of our facebook pages.
