Mindi and I finally made it to snowboarding up at Snoqualmie Pass Tuesday. And today I am paying for it. Every part of my body aches... and it takes effort just to put on my shoes and socks.
I did manage to stay on the board with two feet strapped in, but talk about a different sensation after skiing for all these years. They teach you in the first lesson with one strap only on and it was definitely daunting to be sharing the bunny slopes with 5- and 6-year-old skiers. But there were some older adults on the lifts. At least I still somewhat look younger... I hope. I even shut down the tow rope when I missed the landing area... and a teenager had to stop the moving sidewalk (snicker, snicker...)
But all in all, a beautiful day on the slopes and great company who also was landing on her butt as well.
I've got two more days/lessons left so I plan on trying it out at least for the rest of the season. I do want to go skiing up there at some point also...
