1st post from iPad.....

I have been slacking on this blog.... Too busy having a good time in my new home of North Idaho..... Or when I get a chance my son has the pc and is playing minecraft.

At any rate, I found this app for the iPad tonight and I figured I would try a post.

Getting ready for the local mountains to open for a winter of powder.

Keep checking our ebay store for specials or www.skatersville.com for some deals.

For my northwest friends, if you want to demo or purchase an Icon snowskate hit me up before they are gone...

New Year - new promises.... like keeping a budget, etc etc....

It has been a warm winter, so although I haven't been snowskating, the skateboarding has been straight through the winter especially since the mini isn't buried by 3 feet of snow like this time last year.
