Killington, VT 2010

Greetings!  I just came back from snowboarding in Vermont. It was an amazing trip with new and old friends. This year I made it up to the highest point of the mountain, there were so many trails to choose from that we didn't get a chance to go down them all. The ski lifts are still scary to me and I finally made it off one without falling..lol

Cant wait for next year's trip, hopefully I will own more gear than just a helmet and goggles. 

SNOWBOARDING

This past weekend I was in Killington, Vermont--snowboarding!! Yes snowboarding, it was my first time and it was awesome, something I definitely have to do again. The first day we did nothing but the bunny slopes all day--pretty lame, I know. The second day is when things really picked up, we went on the ski lifts; let me tell you the ski lifts are scary!! It doesn’t stop for you to get on and off. You have to be ready to hop in at the right moment to get on and you have to be ready to slide off on your board when getting off. All the while you only have one foot strapped into the board! Sadly, I must say; I feel every damn time getting off. The green slopes, I did pretty well on. The one blue slope I did--I completely wiped out!! I had my glasses on under my ski goggles (can't shake my inner nerd) and my glasses CRACKED when I wiped out!! I ate the snow on that fall. And for all the snowboarding junkies out there, there is always the black diamond. I for sure was not going down those slopes. Besides my glasses cracking I had a great time and recommend everyone try snowboard. I guarantee you will fall a lot, but to me it was worth it.
