Snowboarding


So my freshman friend Koda wanted to teach me how to snowboard so we went up to Sundance last night. It was awesome but sometimes kind of painful. He said I was the fastest learner he had ever taught so that was cool. It was awesome when I started to figure out how to balance and I could relax a bit more while going down the hill. I took some pretty funny spills throughout the night. I had several guys ask if i "was the one who went flying back there." Yes, I made an impression on people. ;) I was pretty excited about not getting hurt and we went up once more to the top of the mountain and boarded down to the parking lot. I went the whole way without falling (except for off the lift--I couldn't seem to master that and even knocked others over as well.) Sorry poor souls.

We parked and then took the way crowded bus down.
Here was my group. John and Chelsie who are married and then Koda.

I saw Jeff Schwarting and Rob Perry up there along with Clark and his wife. I first saw them on the lift.

I also saw a guy I work with at the RB and a friend from home (did not get a picture of her). The guy in the back though is my new friend Travis...well, at least for that lift ride.

I am trying to take the easiest way...naturally. ;) (PS...we didn't follow the sign this time)

It was awesome. Anyway, so we rode down to the parking lot and i saw this deep hole on the ground and decided that I was definitely going to biff it but saw the snow around and didn't really care. Well, it was not snow around it...it was a thin layer of snow over cement and i fell right on my knees. Needless to say, they are swollen and I was glad we were done for the night.
Here was me today at work. Ice Ice Ice! MY knees hurt! :)

hahahaha That is a great post and I'm glad you got all of those pictures. That was super nice of him to teach you and I'm glad you had fun and saw lots of people who were also having fun (phew, that was a long sentence!). xo
