Watch out below!!

So this weekend was pretty fun. We trekked to Big Bear on a gorgeous Sunday morning and finally got to take our Snowboards out to play...

I was rather good...


(What do you mean that's not me and i'm not blond? - Is that even a girl you ask?)

We went to Bear Mountain for a half day (that's long enough for an out-of-shape me!) and I was daring... I decided to go on the LOW INTERMEDIATE run. wHOOooohooo!

Actually, the scariest part is getting off that stupid lift seat when you get to the top. No matter how cool I try to look out there, trying to get off the lift seat and sliding to safety is just beyond me. What i need is a set up that let's you practice getting off those lifts. One little area where a seat just moves back and forth and i just practice getting off it. Otherwise it's like 2 hours between practices when you're actually on the slopes... (because you have to wait in lines, and then get down the mountain...)

ANYWAY... back to my breakthrough... i went on the LOW intermediate and there was one that went all the way to the TOP of the mountain. And I was okay coming down, but it's a WORKOUT! My thighs were burning from trying to go down at a nice and easy speed... so i had to stop and chill on the sidelines to give my legs a rest. But I'm pretty excited i moved past the Bunny Slopes and joined all the other 9 year olds in the Low Intermediate runs!
