Went riding at the local mountain yesterday with my skier boyfriend, who snowboarded for his first time. Of course by the end of the day he was doing just as well as me and I rode a LOT last season. I hate him. lol
Anyway except for some ice on the back side, the weather was gorgeous, the snow was soft and mushy (which I don't mind--slows me down and makes me a little more confident) and we had a great day. My new coat and gloves were too hot though. It must have been 40 or 45 up there.
Sucky thing was about 2 pm I had to quit, my knees were way too sore to keep riding--I've found out the hard way that trying to keep going makes those last couple of runs turn into HELL. I hate myself for being such a wuss. Oh well. Next year will be better. Oh and next Sat, they are drawing for a Bud Light snowboard so I'm going to go up and buy a couple of pitchers of beer to try to win it! (my current board is a K2 Coors Light logo board that a friend won from the radio)
