Powder

Hey guy's,

So I went snowboarding for the first time over the weekend at Sugar Bowl in California. I had a great time although I spent the first 45 minutes trying to get my rentals for my gear. Right as we got there a tour group pulled up and everyone was renting. What a hassle, if only we were 10 minutes earlier. Oh well, I ended up on the slopes a little bit after my friends went down a few time and took some advise from them since I had no idea what I was doing.

The first time I went down I fell about every 100 feet but I was just getting a hold of the ropes. The second time I went up I fell about four times, and finally the third time I went up, by myself seeing as my friends told me all I needed to know and I just needed to practice, I fell down only twice. Well, even after that I continued up and down the slopes till I couldn't feel my legs any more and then headed over to the lodge to get some chow. Mmmm... Chicken sandwich. After I finished eating I hung out at the bar and watched a little bit of the game. Then it was back to practicing again. I headed back up the mountain and slid down again a few more times.

Around that time someone from my group called me and we all meet up at the lodge to go down a few more times before they closed. The people that taught me the ropes said I was getting better but I had a really long way to go. After the slopes closed I turned my rentals back in and we hung out at the lodge for a little while longer. After that we were headed back to Nevada. We stopped off in Fernly at a place called Bully's to eat something for dinner and meet up with our gang from work. After that we all headed home for a good night rest, we were gonna be soar tomorrow.

Well the next day came it turns out I wasn't as soar as they said I was gonna be. Although my butt did hurt from falling on it so many times... :-/.
