Hopin' to get up there next weekend to use my early season 'free' day lift pass. Have fun today whoever's there for opening day riding etc. Gonna be great, I'm sure.

Kids love bikes, but not necessarily at a particular level. Some love bikes more than others. It's other sports and hobbies, like anything. If I played an instrument or was a singer, my kids might want to take up music, but then again, maybe not. I gave up my bike when I turned 16. Cars, what can ya say? But I came back to to bikes in my early 20s once I realized that A. I was getting fat, and B. It was pretty damn fun and I felt like a kid again. I've outfitted both my kids (and my wife) each with a hardtail and a DH/AM rig, but there's no guarantees it's going to stick. I just hope it does. If it doesn't, well, I'll be keeping my bikes regardless. Ya gotta try but ya can't force the horse to drink water. Yes, it's an expensive experiment on my part. I think by introducing your kids to the joys of biking, without making them feel like its a chore, they will probably come back to it later if they leave to do 'their own thing' for awhile because they'll subconciously associate it with positive family memories (it's like comfort food). That's my hope anyway.
