Let The Snowboarding Begin!

I've been excited to get back on a snowboard since I got a taste of the sport last winter season, and I finally got the chance to do so today.

Following days and days of snow storms, Brian Head Resort in Utah was the perfect venue to start off the snowboard season. Four of my friends and I left Las Vegas at 5:30am for the 3-hour drive, in order to reach the snow park promptly at its opening time. We spent nearly the whole day there, to the point of exhaustion!


The end of last snow season was spent with a climactic 3-day trip to Lake Tahoe for an entire weekend of snowboarding. The itinerary covered Heavenly Ski Resort on Day 1, Kirkwood on Day 2, and Northstar on Day 3. It was an extraordinary weekend getaway, with many memorable moments and just a lot of fun.

Since then, I've been plagued with snow dreams, just eager to tackle the slopes. Ironically, I am not a fan of winter, nor do I care for cold weather or snow. However, snowboarding has become something of a hobby of mine now. Although I can't say I am skilled at it, I enjoy it immensely. I would encourage everyone to give it a try.
