first time actually snowboarding and skiing yesterday and man did it get the best of me, i am in work right now and my body is aching so bad.
I went to Shawnee Mountain yesterday and started off with the skis first on the easiest mountain to get the hang of things. i was getting bored of the easy slope so i decided to move on to the more difficult one, although i feel a few times i thought i did pretty good. ( had no gloves on so i messed up my knuckles on the damn snow/ice all cut up.
Took a nice break in the lodge after and grabbed a Hot Chocolate it was much needed.
Me and a homie decided we were gonna trade our skis in for a snowboard (bad idea). We take them to the begginer slope to start off like we did with the skis. I seriously thought snowboarding was going to be easier then skiing boy was i wrong (for me at least) i had so much trouble keeping my damn balance. Once i would pick up speed it would all be over real quick, I couldn't decide which way felt more comfortable regular or goofy style of riding. After continuously falling and before if got dark we decided to hit up a crazy route on the slopes which was an easiest slope but really long with a few turns and all.
Man oh Man this was the worst idea i had in a long time like it was fun but then again it really wasn't because of the amount of times i seriously fell, certain parts of the mountain would be soft snow and others straight ICE, I hit my head so damn hard after 15mins of falling and getting up i finally said F this and unbuckled my snowboard shoes took them out the board and carried the board down while walking, i was in so much pain
that i was *****ing
(not the best picture but just a little preview of the slopes)
started off at the little chief, went on bennekill to kittatinny all way down to green house slope on skis
Snowboard i took the Highspeed Quad up to Hiawatha down Upper Pennsylvania through Meadows down to Lower Pennsylvania out by the Green House Slope. It took me a good 30mins just about to get down even while walking toward the end
