Most of you know how much I love to snowboard. Based on the amount of snow we have gotten and are still getting I may be able to board until April. Back years ago when Kelly insisted on me learning and I HATED it. My first trip to Kelly Canyon was awful! I got on the 1st lift and tumbled down the hill. I think I said a few choice words took off the board and walked to the lodge where I handed the board off to my sister Robbie and said have a good time. Her experience was close to mine, except she got a free trip down in the ski patrol sled. That should have taught Kelly not to ever try to take me again. He insisted I try it again!
Dragging my feet I decided to try again, and again, and again until I finally loved IT! It took many years for me to like it, I sat on the side of the hill and cried for many years!
Fast forward 13 years, I LOVE IT!!!!!! I love going to Jackson and watching the ski instructors teach these little kids how to board and ski. It is the cutest thing. I love to ride with my kids and see them try new things. (SOMETIMES) I love to find deep powder and hills to jump. This year we taught some of our nieces and nephews how to board, that was so much fun!
In my next life I am going to be a ski bum! I am going to teach those cute small children to board (they are easy to teach, anyone over 10 yrs gets scared to easily) and board on my days off
Summers I will become a beach bum....wouldn't that be the life.
