Let's Live

Ski club today. In the rain and melting snow. The snow was actually really good. It was the rain that sucked. Everything was soaked.
But since I had to get up early all this week and for some reason half of my siblings were up at freaking six in the morning and woke me up, then after four hours of snowboarding in the rain I was really tired. I still am really tired actually... Luckily tomorrow is Saturday so hopefully I'll sleep in.

On Peter's Pride today, the next hill up from Buttermilk, experience wise, they had these GIANT jumps set up and rails and stuff it was pretty sweet. I am not insane, nor stupid enough to even try them. But it was cool to watch the people who actually have experience going over them. Those jumps were huge... Like 10-20 feet high. It was insane.

Today I played around with speed. I'm more comfortable now going fast and I dont feel like I'm out of control as much. When I do start to feel out of control I slow down... AND I rode switch (aka: fakie) a little bit today. Its not as confusing as it was at first but then again when we just started out I was pretty okay with it too... so. Its all good. Unfortunately the snow is melting, slowly but surely, and the rain isn't helping. So there's only a couple more weeks, if that.

I'm gonna miss it. But I won't miss the cold... if only there was a way to snowboard without the cold weather :P
I guess that would be called skateboarding huh? Thats gonna take forever... snow hurts less than cement does. And my feet arent connected, lol.

Sounds like you're doing great. And having tons of fun of course!
I only once considered winter sports. But then I decided that I didn't want to get hurt.
So snowoarding and skiing are not for me.

you havent lived until you've snowboarded xD

the hurting sucks but it stops after a couple weeks. or months, depending :P But its worth it... in my opinion anyways, its SO much fun.

then again im also the kind of person who enjoys being sore after a long day of exercise :P I feel like ive achieved something or something like that, i dunno x3
