A-Basin... like C-Mountain and A-spen

Today I went snowboarding for the first time. I've been skiing (usually only once or twice a year) since middle school and while I'm no pro, I consider myself a very solid intermediate and feel fairly confident in my skillz ( Read more... )

I'd go skiing, but I'm often broke, too lazy to drive that far, and not thrilled at the snow (heh), cold, and even more lack of oxygen. :-p I may live vicariously through you! :)

Well it wasn't too cold yesterday (I was actually sweating and had to take my scarf off and unzip my jacket), but I did get pretty tired from the altitude (around 11,000 ft at A-basin) and um, the FALLING. :p

But skiing is really fun, too! And I already know how to do that!

I will probably give snowboarding one more chance, though.

Good, leave the snowboarding Dark Side and return to what you know! I hate skiiers who switch over to snowboarding and then get all superior about it. UGH. And lucky you, Colorado. Since I learned to ski in the Austrian alps (la la la), skiing in VA/WVA was always difficult. The last time I went skiing, it was in Colorado and Utah. And who knows...I might be there again in March! Will let you know.

Oh, and just be very formal and call it Arapaho, because that sounds funny, anyway!
