On Saturday Jordan and I drove out to Seven Oaks to snowboard. The sun warmed the park, and it got so nice that we shed some layers underneath our coats.
Being my sixth time on the slopes, I've decided that pictures are now acceptable. I'm sporting a helmet that makes me head look like a giant pea on a toothpick, but hey, the helmet is a confidence booster when I'm trying to improve my riding. (I had a couple nasty falls before I started wearing it.)
Time #6 led to a sizable breakthrough: I learned to connect my toe-side turns and heel-side turns as I head down the hill. It took some repetitive encouragement from Jordan--I hesitated most times because when I connected the turns I got going a little quicker than comfortable. But after I went for it, it was easier than I anticipated. And became quite gratifying.
