To Snowboard, or not to Snowboard?


It's been put off for two weeks, and finally the day is here. Yes, the ski hill at Stony Mountain is finally opening on Saturday, and I couldn't be more excited.

The opening date for this season has been postponed several times already due to the erratic weather. All the regular snowboarders and skiers of the hill are just as bummed out as I am with the lack of snow. Daily updates on the ski hill's website have been putting the opening day off more and more, adding to the mutual feeling of sadness felt by all the disappointed boarders.

But the day is finally here; there is snow on the ground, the lifts are running, and everyone is excited to ride for the first time of the season.

What's Wrong With the '90s?

SO apparently discrimination extends further than race. I have experienced discrimination on several occasions this past week, simply because I was born in 1991. Comments such as "
Adam was a fetus when Smells Like Teen Spirit came out," are hurtful. Maybe I have always wished to be around for the whole Nirvana thing.

Anyways, how about we all stop discrimination, and just accept each other. I have nothing against the '80s or '70s, and hope some people learn to accept their peers for who they are.
