"I'm shivering hard now, shivering hard now..."

I went snowboarding up at Sundance today...high of 17..Brrr...

Look at my stylish new goggles. :) I love my board, but I didn't really get a good picture of it.

I'm pretty much terrified of getting off the stupid lift. Every time my chair got close to the unloading hill I panicked and wondered if I could get away with just staying on and riding it back down to the bottom. I'm always scared of falling right when I get off and getting whacked by the chair, or tripped over by the people coming off next. I psych myself out about the whole thing- it's definitely the downside of the whole experience...one of these days I'm gonna find an alternate way up the mountain.

On my first trip up there were two kids on the lift in front of me. I was sitting there minding my own business trying to breathe in the ridiculous blizzard that was going on, when suddenly the kid in front of me dropped out of the lift onto the side of the mountain! I totally thought he fell out until I saw the next kid drop, too. They both hit the snow and started cheering...what the world. Some people's children.

Anyway, the day was a success minus a few bruises. I'm still not sure about all this white stuff, but it was a fun step out of hibernation for the day.
