High.   She also pens her own snowboarding blog at ... http://snowboard-women.com/wordpress/2010/02/08/interview-with-gurlryder-snowboarding-instructor-at-mt-high/ Here are 2 real cool female Hotties on the Hill - Amy and Rebecca.  We met them at McCoy station at lunchtime this past Saturday as they waited for their friends to meet them.  I actually was eavesdropping a little bit because they were sitting right next to us ... http://snowboard-women.com/wordpress/2010/02/03/hotties-on-the-hill-mammoth-13010/ Meet Steve - we saw him down at the Canyon Lodge gondola this weekend at the beginning of the day.  I noticed his cute kitten board - one of the Burton Un.Inc series a few seasons back.  I squealed when I saw the board (what can I say, I love ... http://snowboard-women.com/wordpress/2010/02/02/mammoth-hottie-on-the-hill-12910/ This weekend's Mammoth trip was another fun one.  I went with a completely different group of folks than I usually do.  We had 2 condos and 14 people!  For 2 straight days, I was snowboarding with a group of guys, all of whom were better and a lot faster than ... http://snowboard-women.com/wordpress/2010/02/02/mammoth-trip-128-13110/ At Canyon Lodge on Friday 1/29/10... this guy was wearing "destroyed" style ripped jeans, exposing black lycra or leggings underneath.
