So I tried snowboarding this weekend....

Holy crap was it harder than I thought! I've skied before and never had a problem controlling myself down the mountain but snowboarding was a different story. My friends and I decided to hit the bunny slope first so that we could get used to our boards. It wasn't so bad at first....I was just getting tired of running over little children. Once down the bunny hill, my friend and I shared a ski lift up to the higher slopes. We were getting to the top, so we started preparing ourselves to jump off the lift. My board touched the snow, and I stood up and allowed the lift to push me off. Little did I know, my friend's board was tangled with mine. My friend decided to then hang onto the lift that was still moving, while I let go and hit the snow hard and broke my tailbone and got a concussion. (Okay, I'm exaggerating) but it hurt like hell. My friend lets go of the lift and falls on top of me. Ignoring the pain, we can't stop laughing. Once I stopped seeing stars, I hoisted myself up onto my board, only to see another ski lift coming straight for my face. It hit me. Down for the count once again. I lost my snowboard. That concussion is worsening. Yeah, there were about 20 people watching this all happen but no one laughed which surprised me. Their reactions were more along the lines of "WTF??" which made me feel even dumber. Haha oh well. Once I thought the worst was over, I started the ride down the hill. I had to stop every 10 feet because I kept drifting towards the sides where I would fall down a ditch. And by stopping, I mean tumbling. I didn't know how to stop yet so I resorted to taking diggers. At this point, my whole body is throbbing and I have no idea how I am going to make it down this mountain in one piece. So I slid on my butt. Sometimes using my snowboard as a sled. 2 foot tall babies were flying past me but I didn't care. I knew that mountain and everyone else on it OWNED me from the first step of the ski lift. I mean the first thunderclap onto the snow. I'm coming back for you Loon Mountain!
