Yesterday was a perfect day for snowboarding! It was just the right temperature (I left my jacket inside most of the time and just went out with my hoodie) and the snow was all nice and fluffy. Since Timmy and I still needed another sticker to technically move onto the next hill, my mom arranged a lesson for us. While we were waiting, however, I convinced Timmy to go over to the bigger hill. We went up it and were pretty surprised at how much bigger that hill was! lol, but it was easier to get off the lift and was more even at the top. Not only that, but they have "rails" to grind and a little jump. I managed to actually stay on one of the rails but I was afraid to go off the jump, lol. At the bottom it gets really steep though so I was imagining Timmy zooming down the hill past me and running into everyone. But he was smart, lol, and he knew what to do.
We got a lesson from a guy I knew. I was a little disappointed to be honest, because I don't really like the way he teaches. he was the guy from two weeks ago that didn't give me my sticker. Apparently he's better at teaching private lessons though. He was trying to explain twisting the board to me and after my first try he was like "That was just... beautiful!" lol! So I picked up on stuff a lot easier yesterday. I got the twisting thing down pretty well and Timmy got his toe-side turns down and we went over to the bigger hill for a run. We were supposed to work on linking more symmetrical turns. I did okay on the even part but when i slowed down I fell over. When we got to the steep part I did really great with the turns and the guy let me know my turns had just been beautiful! :P
So we ended up getting TWO stickers yesterday. W00t.
So all in all, it was a perfect day for snowboarding. We ended up staying out until 20 to 3, usually we leave around 2, lol. Unfortunately I left my camera at home so no pictures this week.
