Snowboarding Once Again

Guess what I did again today?  Snowboarding!  I tried a different hill that was much less steep and it worked a lot better--as in I fell down less.  I felt like I had gone from a black diamond to the bunny slopes!  It was fun to try different techniques and experiment with steering and stopping.  I'm excited to watch snowboarding in the Olympics.  Go USA!!!

Snowboarding

We got about 6-7 inches of snow here in central PA last night, so this afternoon, my siblings and I went outside and enjoyed it.  I tried snowboarding.  It was pretty fun.  Where my family lives, our backyard is one big hill.  I've never skied and never snowboarded before (okay, I may have tried it once or twice previous years) so I didn't quite know what I was doing.  My brother recently got into skiing and snowboarding so I saw a few youtube videos on how to do it.  I guess I was okay at it.  I fell down a lot and got snow down my coat more than once.  But it was fun to try something new.  Each time I started down the hill, it was like starting an adventure (a very short one sometimes) because I didn't know how far I would make it and if I would possibly hurt myself.  But it was really fun and I'm really glad I tried it. 


And by the way, the above picture is nothing like what I was doing.  More like this.  But I wasn't quite that epic.
