Going down a Bunny Slope in Blizzardy Snow...
So, today I headed to Tahoe thinking that I was going to the Northstar resort- but low and behold, because of the storm, we ended up going to another resort. I wouldn't mind much except that I bought a 3 pack to Northstar and need to use them by the end of the season. Oh well...more excuses to go up I guess in the future.
As for my snowboarding pursuits, I took a beginner(level 1) lesson so that I could get the basics again and have another perspective on things. It really helped doing it again and today, I ended up going down the bunny slope almost all the way down with no falls. For my 3rd time round, not bad...I'm beginning to really like it and thats what they say- you have to go 3-5 times in one season to really get it. So, I'm glad I stuck with it and now feel like I can handle the sport.
I also got an awakening on snow...it was all powder and snowing pretty bad during the lesson and especially after the lesson. My hair was white even with the a hoodie and a snowcap and I'm SOOO glad I bought my new jacket so that I saved myself from being cold up on top. Apparently, there is what I like to refer as a 'robbers mask'- something that protects your whole face when it snows- who knew?
Ok, I'm exhausted. I figured since I'm up and needed to get some reading online done and its not quite my bedtime, I could blog. Hope everyone had a good Presidents day! :)
