Christmas in Sunriver, Day 1

Fresh off the Everyday Photography press is some new shots of our silly afternoon ingenuity. When we learned that our Christmas plans involved staying at our parent’s Sunriver house for a few days, I got imaginative. I figured, hey, I like snowboarding. And it’s going to be snowy over there. But who wants to pay $66 for a Bachelor lift ticket whenever the urge arises? My parents have a large yard at the SR house – I was going to build my own mini “terrain park.” So I set out to put together a rail (2×4’s and vinyl guttering, under $15!) and then we put together a jump.

Okay, so it wasn’t amazing. But I’d argue that it’s pretty neat for 2 hours worth of work and $15. I’m starting to become semi-confident on a rail!  Here’s some of the fun:
