First Snowboarding Trip

I've never really had the desire to ski or snowboard but then I figured I needed to at least give it a chance so Thursday night Steven and I drove up to Flagstaff, stayed with his aunt and uncle, woke up early and headed up to Snowbowl.

We put me into lessons for 2 hours which helped a TON. I don't think I would have ever even stood up without the lessons. I had some pretty good falls but eventually got to where I could go down the hill (bunny hill that is :o) without falling. I couldn't do my "toe edge" without falling so I guess we just need to go again so I can work on that! The hardest part for me was getting off the ski lift! I fell 3 out of the 5 times...oh well!

It was such a fun day. Steven and I had a blast. I'll definitely go again!




Us at Bun Huggers after a long day of snowboarding!

This video makes me laugh--yes, I'm very much a beginner :o) You'll hear me say at the beginning "I have to get my groove". If I would stop for too long, I'd lose my "groove" and would need a few runs to get back into it.

Woo woo look at you!! :) Looks like fun, I need to try it sometime. So, thanks for letting me stay at your house last night, even though I didn't even see you. Guess you were pretty worn out. And your shower...maybe I'm just retarded but I couldn't get the temp thing to move so it wasn't exactly warm. But I survived! Thanks again.

You did better than me! The first time I went I didn't get off the lift one time without falling! haha
