Snowboarding 101

I have been snowboarding probably 3 times in the past 10 years...when the stars align: I'm not pregnant and in Colorado in the winter. So when I get the chance I feel like I have to learn how to snowboard all over.  While we were in Colorado we went twice in one week and that helped a ton. The first day I was back to square one and was wasted after a long day of falling all day. It didn't help that we had just flown in and the altitude was really affecting me. I was winded just walking up to the lift. I usually just ride heal side both regular and goofy (which is a quad workout let me tell you) and make my way down the mountain but I finally learned to go toe side too.

Thanks to my MIL Sheri who set up babysitting with a family friend (thanks Tiffany) and Kim who watched them the second half. It was beautiful! Austin went to ski school and even improved enough that we took him down a green run twice at the end of the day.
