Despite the fact that I have nearly no coordination, I decided that I wanted to learn to snowboard.
My friend Rachel is an avid snowboarder and being that she spends almost every Saturday (during the winter season) on the slopes, I decided there was no time like the present to learn.
After one full season of planting myself on the bunny hill (while avoiding the lift at all costs), I decided that this past season would be the time to test my ability.
During my first trip to Mad River Mountain in 2010, I challenged myself to attempt a "green circle" trail. I must say, the most difficult part was getting off the lift. I did a nosedive while attempting to exit the lift, however; the trip down went better than expected. I only lost my balance once!
Throughout the remainder of the season - I continued to challenge myself; I even tried an intermediate course.
