Wes’s Life

Well, over spring break my girl­friend and I decided to go hit some slopes for some last minute snow­board­ing and skiing. I have been once before, but I fell quite a bit and wasn’t look­ing too hot.

So we decided to go back to where I had gone for my first time on Monday. I man­aged to get a nice little pack­age deal that saved me a bit of cash and get me into an “Advanced Begin­ner” Lesson. Well, after my lesson I was link­ing turns and going down the moun­tain with­out too much pain. Albeit, my most painful falls were on this day: one solid smack to the tail bone and some grind­ing to my left knee.

We then went up to my parent’s house and lo and behold the day we planned to go it was slated to snow. So we woke up to a fresh coat­ing of snow on the ground. As we headed north to Blue Knob we noticed that the route we were going to take was shut down, so we turned around and went to Round­top. It was smaller, but since it was fresh powder and there were very few people it was a great day. This was prob­a­bly my favorite day snow­board­ing so far. I man­aged to make it down the moun­tain a few times with­out falling and even then the powder soft­ened the fall.

So I guess what that all means is that I’m stick­ing with this. Next season I’ll prob­a­bly pick up a board pack­age and hit the slopes a bit more often and hope­fully with some friends.
