How to learn to snowboard by Kristin

"Not sure I am cut out to be a snowboarder, but I tried and will keep trying."

How I did it: After a brief lesson from our friends, we were off to the lift.  I fell getting off, something that I did most every time I tried to get off of it.  It took me nearly an hour to get down the bunny slope.  Thank God for butt pads!  I fell so hard once that it knocked the wind out of me.  I bruised me knee and my ego pretty good, but no broken bones.  My husband got pretty good at it by the end of the day.  Me.... I traded in the snowboard for skis after two tries.  I was so sore and exhausted that I couldn't have gone once more on the board.  I am gonna keep practicing.  There is a small hill close to home that would be a good place for me to work on it. 

Lessons & tips: I am terrible..... you don't want advice from me! :)
