Ohh my sore bum!

So Ad finally took me snow boarding... and at the end, it was so....I'm officially a snow boarding bunny. Through all the frsutration, patience paid off. AD is so proud.

It wasn't easy I have bruises all over my body and woke up aching. We started on flat ground where he had me practice balancing while skating.

You would think this was easy since I skateboarded a littlt in my youth. It was hard to steer and it's so fast.
We then proceeded to the bunny slopes. I learned how to snow board heelside and toeside. I perfer heelside and can make it down a 100 yard slope easily and quickly. The hardest part was getting on my board on heelside due to my large butt, thighs and calves...

Toeside is much easier to get to but I almost always end up on my ass.

My next phase will be to transition from heelside to toeside without killing myself.

Pictures to come soon.

We were with a group of friends and it can be dangerous, one of our friends broke their collar bone. Ouch!
