Just got back from silverstar resort where I tried snowboarding for the first time in 8 years. Kinda rough start but one of my buddies sisters hadn't been snowboarding so we both decided to get a lesson which really helped. We were the only two in the class which was great so the teacher was really able to focus on us both.
By the second day we were doing some of the green runs on the mountain...I'm not gonna lie it was nothing pretty but I made it down twice. I got super frustrated at some points but at the same time I made huge improvement in the first 4hrs of snowboarding so I'm proud of myself.
It was so exhausting and a lot harder than I had imagined but all my friends were super awesome and nice.
Mike & I spent most of our nights in the hot tub which honestly I couldn't imagine doing it any other way, so many aches!
So overall the weekend was enjoyable and relaxing, I hadn't seen a lot of my friends for a while so it was nice to hang out with them on the long weekend.
My eating was way off but I'm hoping the snowboarding took care of the junk, starting tomorrow I've gotta get back into it!
someone had told me some really frustrating news on our weekend away which put a huge damper on the weekend but I had kinda had an idea before the person told me that something had been going on but what can you do? when there's nothing you feel you can do!
Actually snowboarding was mentally exhausting and comparable to the news i had heard...you get so frustrated because you see everyone else succeeding.....& you can't make it work and even though you feel you've tried everything in your power to figure things out and you want nothing more in the world but to 'snowboard' at that moment you forced to let go of the thought that its going to work out, forced to move on and hope that one day you'll end up feeling better about it, maybe not today or next month or even a year from now but maybe one day. See! Snowboarding can be applied to all situations! You fall down and sometimes you don't want to get up...you want to stay down thinking and going over what you could and should have done better and how it all went wrong that maybe you'd rather hang out in the snow and stare at the mountains and think about that, running over everything in your head, over and over and over until you feel sick rather than get back up and try something new....like skiing. Lol
Man can I talk a lot of garbage or what!
Anyway snowboarding was hard, I'd like to do it again so hopefully I'll get invited out again and see more of Canada.
Peace Out.
