Dear readers,
So when i moved to utah i knew i was going to be snowboarding quite a bit (i skateboard so its just natural). First year i got a board and boots (i already had bindings from a generous young mens leader), i didnt have a pass so i just went friday nights thanks to x96. The next year i got a pass to brighton and got a new board and loved it. this year, same story, got a pass to brighton, got new binding and new boots. I decided to take it more serious. I have improved immensly, and quickly if i might add. For really only snowboarding two years (i didnt seriosuly snowboard till my second "season") i am pretty good. if only i could have started earlier! anyways, consequently my disgust with skiing grew. any chance i could to make fun of skiing i would. for instance i would open up a skiing magazine and ask "thats weird, why are there pictures of naked men in here, i thought this was a skiing magazine?" funny, i know. anyways so a fellow schoolmate, Tyler Sharp, kept asking me when i was gonna grow a pair and go skiing and one day i "grew a pair" and went skiing. Since i have such natural ability with anything i try, i was good. it did take me a few runs to get the hang of it, but like i promised my friends, i did do some "black diamonds". I was even lucky enough to get some powder. they opened up a bowl and we rushed to it and i experienced skiing in Alta's lovely powder. it was amazing to say the least. i was highly impressed by altas gnarly terrain and i now get why they dont want snowboarders there. thats okay, i have brighton to snowboard at. so all in all a great experience. I will be skiing a lot more in the future. probably maybe even invest in some skis.
