New toys!!

After skiing for several years, I finally dared to try snowboarding last weekend in our 2-day Mammoth trip. Honestly speaking late March was not a good time for beginners since the snow season was almost over and most green trails were getting very icy! Anyway, I took a 3-hour lesson in the first day and only learned up to heel side zigzag. The coaches said if we returned for a second lesson then they'll teach us toe side! I almost wanted to ask for refund at that moment! The rest 1.5 days were probably among the most life threatening in my life:-P. Every fall hurt so much I didn't think any pads could help. I got bruises everywhere and I still couldn't move my neck 3 days after. I think I started to pick up the heel side trick in the end of the 1st day but then the trail got really really icy in day 2 morning and I lost it again. I did much better in day 2 afternoon and enjoyed most of it. All in all, snowboarding was a lot of fun and looked way cooler than skiing! Ha! In less than one week I couldn't resist the big sales and bought some new toys for next snow season. Lalalalala~ Special thanks to Ali who took me to the store and helped me choose!
