Yes finally tonight I get to go snowboarding for the first time this winter. I can't wait. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. It is only Mad River Mountain, but I'll take that over nothing.
I'm trying to decide if I should mess with my stance at all. One of the things I want to do is learn to ride "switch", or with my weaker foot forward, which would require my foot positions to be a bit different on the board. I don't think that it would be a big deal for me to learn because I don't really have a heavily dominant side. I chose to ride "goofy" or right foot forward, but I could have just as easily chosen to do it the other way.
I'm also hoping for some better feel on my board this year thanks to all my weight loss. I was right at the edge of the weight limit for my board before, but now I'm well under it, which should help a lot with feel and control.
If your name is Crystal, stop reading now...... :)
I'm also hoping to learn how to land properly. I've never been able to do any jumps before because I could never stick the landings and I'm hoping to practice a few small jumps and start to learn how to land properly.
So anyway, say Hi if you see a tall guy on a Burton Canyon 162 out there tonight.
