Last Saturday I learned how to connect my turns on a snowboard. It’s much easier on your legs when you know how to move your weight around properly. Having so much snow on the mountain made it nice and soft for crash landings. Fortunately I’m able to stay on my feet most of the time so the crashes were few and far between!
Coming down from the mountain was a little dicey. The road was covered in ice and I had to chain up my tires to get down. We passed a jeep in the ditch shortly after leaving the parking lot and later we discovered that a bus had gone in the ditch shortly afterwards. That explained all the firetrucks that raced up the hill. The chains made my drive pretty easy and I was surprised I didn’t see more people chained up.
The rain we had this past week iced up the hill but there’s some new snow today. I really should be up there now but I’m not particularily full of energy today so I’ve decided to skip it. I’ve got lots to keep me busy anyway. There’s this list of stuff I haven’t touched all week and I’m cranking through it right now.
