Some Kind of Awesome: Trip to Whitetail

So we took our first snowboarding trip to Wisp the day after Christmas but we didn't get any pictures from that day. The weather has not been very cooperative for snow-making and at that time the only ski resort open was Wisp. The weather was decent, it was cold but it was tolerable. The snow was pretty icy, like snow cone ice. It was David's first time ever trying out snowboarding and for it being his first time he did really well. He was able to get his balance long enough to start skidding down the slopes. That is faster progress then most. Most beginners spend the first day just trying to get up from a sitting down position to a standing up position. David was further along in learning by mid-day. Good job sweetie!

We found out Friday afternoon that we were all going to Whitetail on Saturday. David really wanted to buy a board before hand so that same night we went to Ski Chalet and bought a board for David. Kinda expensive but he got some awesome gear! He got a Ray Gun snowboard which is sick!

Moving on to Whitetail. The weather was finally cold enough for snow-making and Whitetail finally opened this Saturday. The ironic part is that the whole day was warm as hell. The only time it was cool was in the shade or when we were ripping down the mountain because the wind was whipping by your face.

It was me, David, Sunny, Diana, Erik and Anya. Dorsa could not go because of her shoulder and I missed her lots! Also this time around, it was Anya's first time snowboarding so she and David took the free beginners lesson and after that first hour they met up with the rest of us to try out what they learned from the lesson. Anya impressed me the most for how well she did her first day. David was awesome this time around. He was ripping down the mountain like he had snowboarded his whole life :) It was such a great day of boarding!! Check out these pics below.
