  • snowboarding

    So i'm finally beginning to get the hang of snowboarding.   The1st  few times out included some toughs falls, catching an edge on a board at high speed is like getting thrown from a mechanical bull (you're down before you know it).   I found the difficulty level and learning curve to be much tougher then skiing.   
    I find with skiing, i have a lot more confidence to move around the trail and with less work.   Boarding can be smooth and quite a rush when things are going right.   For now, when the snow is falling and there's powder abound , i will grab the board.   When the conditions are groomed or hard packed, i'm grabbing the skis.
