Ridin' in some powder

So last year I took my first snowboard lesson. It was the end of the season, and the snow sucked...but i promised my nephew we'd go to Seven Springs before they closed...so i made good on the deal and we went up. Learning on bad snow HURT...bad. This year I went up with my own board (freshly waxed might i add)...and WOW, did it feel good. I still fell a lot on saturday, but on Sunday I made 11 runs, falling only 2 times on the last one. That last run was pretty sweet too, I was cruisin down the mountain. With all the snow on Sunday, I even had the opportunity to ride powder. I'm officially addicted. It's nice to have overcome the girl-that-falls-down-hill stage, and be able to call myself a snowboarder.

hrm, I've never mountain biked in the snow. That's a must try right there. I think i'm in a severe snowboarding addiction for the time-being though :o)
