A little belated Happy New Year<\/strong> to those in the far south, and a little early Happy New Year<\/strong> to those up here! To quote Quinn, “We’re having a BIG party!” Though it really won’t be big. Just a bunch of 40-50 year olds with nothing better to do New Year’s Eve, hanging around and drinking beer. It’ll be a “nice” evening though…just not exciting.<\/p>\n

I also promised Sam I would update him on my first ever day snowboarding. To sum it up, I have never been this sore in my life! Well, I probably have, but I hurt something fierce! My forearm muscles are all torn up from falling forward on my hands, my biceps are all sore from pushing myself back up, my back is killing me from being jarred all day and my legs hurt because it’s an entirely different set of muscles than skiing. I DID have fun though! It was different being a beginner on the hill again!<\/p>\n

My most memorable moment was sliding on my toe edge (facing into the hill), when I caught the back edge, fell backwards downhill, broke my arse on the ground and saw stars, then my head snapped back and hit the ground…saw stars again! I literally thought I had broken something at that point, but no…just broken pride. The kids weren’t around to see it though!
\nWe were at Sunshine, and, though I DID make one attempt up Standish, I stuck to Strawberry most of the day. Nice and easy. I was getting the hang of it by the end of the day and I think even Dylan was impressed — I could carve…slowly…and I could use both sides of the board.
\nI gave up around 3:30 because I was thinking to myself, “I CAN’T fall again..I literally CAN’T. I won’t be able to get up if I do!”
\nBut, like I said, I was fun…painful…but fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
