So I'm heading to Snowshoe Mountain this weekend with a bunch of friends and I'm nervous. I am not a terribly bad snowboarder ... I just don't seem to be getting any better. I have been 'practicing' the past couple of weekends at Winterplace and I have the one slope I go down and that's it. I know exactly where to slow down ... where I have to totally stop ... and where I know I can go a little faster. It is in my opinion, a fairly safe slope for a newbie like me. However from the pictures above you can tell I have had a couple of spills ... resulting in the biggest bruise I think my knee has ever experienced. I have had people ask me 'did you jump off a rail' or 'did you fly into something.' The truth of the matter is, I simply kept falling on my right knee and it was so cold I did not feel the bump getting bigger.
So as I prepare for my mini-vacation to Snowshoe, I will definitely be packing some advil, some comfy shoes, taking some of my best girl-friends and I must not forget the (man-size) kneepads I spent a small fortune on ...
Catch ya next week ... hopefully not in too much pain!
