WINTER FUN

Did you know that about 70% of the people on the slopes are snowboarders! Snowboarding is awesome! It is a cure for the winter blues. When the temperature outside gets cold, the snowmaking machines come out and so do I. I go snowboarding once, sometimes twice a week, and on the holidays, I spend all day on the slopes!

Snowboarding is a winter sport that is a cross between surfing and skateboarding. Surfing is done on the water, skateboarding on cement, snowboarding is done on the snow. Rollerbladers also ski and most people that skateboard snowboard, but I’m a rollerblader and a snowboarder.

When you first attempt snowboarding it is really hard because you have to learn how to “carve” heal and toe. When I first started I butterflied which is where you only “heal” because to “toe” is difficult when starting out. Since then, I have taught a lot of my friends how to snowboard.

Join me and my friends for some winter fun this year and try snowboarding.
