Snowboarding



One of my new favorite things to do in the winter is snowboarding. The first time I ever went was in March 2007. I only went one time that year and I went on the easiest run pretty much the whole time, and I thought I was really good. In 2008 I went 7 or 8 times. The first time I went in 2008 was with my friend Darby and his family. I thought I was going to do pretty well, but it ended up that it took almost the whole day to get OK at it. The second time I went, I was on the skibus. Skibus was a lot of fun, we had to go to Red Apple store parking lot at 6 am, which was the only thing I can remember being a disappointment. The way to Stevens Pass was a very long drive, so they usually played a movie. I Think the only movie I liked watching was I, robot.

When we got to the pass we had to get all our equipment on and then it was off to the slopes. I remember one of the times I went, I got stuck in powder and it took a long time to get out. I also remember one time I was following Cameron, Madison and Jaidin and I fell behind, but they kept going without me and when they realized I was not with them anymore, they thought I was lost, when really I had just ended up in the R.V. parking lot some how.

After a few days of snowboarding, I decided to see what the terrain park was like. It turned out to be lots of fun. I was in the park for most the of the next times I went.

I really like skiing. Snowboarding seems like it would be harder to go down the really steep slopes. But, you never know, I could be totally mistaken, and maybe snowboarding is the way to go. I'd like to go skiing again this winter, because I really enjoy going on the big jumps. See you later River.

Hey River,
Are you really good at snowboarding? I've only been snowboarding about three times in my life and I'm not that great. I've never been on the ski bus though. Are you going to go on the ski bus this year? I hope you do!
