So this year I learned the basics, getting up, falling down, getting up, moving forward a little, falling down again…
After two days I managed to get down a blue slope without falling, which, in my book, is pretty good. But I know that I’m still fighting the board, not working with it. So next season will be about getting more comfortable and more familiar with the feeling of smearing down the hill as opposed to slicing into it.
Is it worth the bumps? Absolutely, but remember to wear wrist guards and waterproof gloves. Those combined definitely saved my hands from freezing and snapping off.
