Hey Sean, my name is justin i would just like to say that you are my hero and to ask you if you want to go snowboarding i live near big bear and it would be cool to go snowboarding with a fellow diabetic....... comment back.

Hey Sean do you have any snowboarding camps in CO. I've been riding for 20 years diabetic for 8. Know a bit about both and would definitely be up for helping out at a camp. Give me a shout if you are ever in summit county.

We are heading up to Sunday River, Maine tonight . . .Forecast calls for 8-10 in the MTNS . . For East Coast skiing this is amazing for this late in the season . . some mtns are extending their close date . .

Sean . . A-Basin expanded by 80% ? ! Wow ! Does it still have the no frills feel @ the base lodge though? We are big fans of Mad River Glen in Warren, VT, for its challenging terrain but especially for its old fashioned feel. Its a co-op, owned by the skiers, and they just raised $ to replace the single chair . .with another single chair ! Ooops . .they don't allow snowboarders . .Sorry.
You can check out my long post back in Nov on the skiing & pumping thread . . http://tudiabetes.com/forum/topic/show?id=583967%3ATopic%3A68674&page=1&commentId=583967%3AComment%3A69642&x=1#583967Comment69642.
Yeah, I've had DM for 34 but only been skiing for ~15 yrs, with a few high altitude experiences . . but as I said not enough / regularly to draw permanent conclusions about.
If you ever need any medical help for any of your programs, let me know. Have fun @ the Mt. Hood program in April . . I will be attending the Clinical Diabetes Technology Mtg. in Orlando those same days . .
P.S. Love your music and your pictures, you know how to have fun !

Sean . . . nice going ! Checked out your website, how inspirational ! I've had T1 almost 34 years . . I'm very passionate about diabetes care, education and not allowing it to be a limitation. (For me or others . . ) I also happen to be addicted to skiing ! (Northeast . .) I took a snowboarding lesson about 10 years ago, loved it, not half bad @ it, but couldn't convince my husband into it. My 8 year old (non-DM) has been skiing since age 3 and now is beginning to beg for snowboarding !
I am interested in hearing about BG's & high altitude as well. Where exactly can I find your wisdom on this subject ? I have a few experiences in CO (A-basin ! ) & UT but nothing like your experience, and not enough to draw any permanent conclusions. Enlighten me when you have the chance and keep up the good work !

Hey Shawn -
Any tips on altitude and low blood sugars? Check out the last posting on my blog (www.thirstylikethetree.blogspot.com) if you get a second. It's crazy and I ended up having to walk away from what could have been a great day on snow. Arg!

Hey Sean, thanks for the invite. I checked out your camp site and forwarded it to my nephew. He lives in Southern Oregon and is also a T1. Looks like a good time!

hi there,

yes please i would love to meet others in my area with diabetes as well. that would be awesome. hope to talk to you soon!
