So I finally went snowboarding this season. On Saturday, Robbie and I headed out to Sunshine Village to hit the slopes. I decided earlier this year that I would make a committed effort to snowboard instead of ski (which is a much more comfortable activity for me). With XC skiing in the schedule, snowboarding would be a welcomed change. I also own snowboarding equipment, so I figured I should really give it a go.
Thankfully the runs weren’t too busy, and I had lots of time to practice. Of course, there were many falls, and turning continues to be the biggest issue for me, but overall I felt quite comfortable on the snowboard. For having only gone twice last year, this was quite a surprise! Luckily there will be many more visits to the mountains, and my hope by the end of the season is to descend a green run while manoeuvring from heel to toe without falling. I think it’s doable.
HIKES & HAMSTRINGS 
Sounds like you had a lot of fun snowboarding! I agree, it is much more of a challenge than skiing is, but I really enjoy it! I can’t wait to gather the funds to purchase a new snowboard to go snowboarding with during an upcoming trip to the Poconos!

I look forward to many more skiing/snowboarding outings with you :)Based on how quickly you have progressed so far, I think another couple of times going and practicing and you will be able to maneuver any way you want ��
