Dude, mad props, thats is some dedication right there; so many spoiled, punk-ass little rich kids on here who are from ski towns out west and don't have the slightest idea what it's like to be from the midwest or the east coast; I live in Colorado now but grew up on the east coast so I know how it is bro... hang in there and make a road trip to Whistler or Jackson Hole it's worth it!
