This is my buddy, Lendal. He's one of my best friends up here and I basically consider him my brother from another mother. (; He invited me to go snowboarding this morning up at Snowbowl. I got a snowboard & gear for Christmas and hadn't gone because there wasn't fresh snow since this semester started. We finally got some snow last week, and I only had one class today so I figured it certainly was worth ditching. So I did.
I hadn't been snowboarding in at least four years, probably five. But lemme tell you -- Lendal was a trooper. He was a phenomenal teacher for me and snowboarding felt pretty dang familiar. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to keep myself up about 90% of the time. I managed to not have any wipe-outs, but I did fall quite a bit on my knees and booty while trying to learn how to turn from heel-side to toe-side edges. But I GOT IT! We were out there from about 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM. I'm suuuuper sore & tired but so happy.
Now I am totally tempted to buy a season pass, with $400 I don't have.
