Can't... feel... legs...

A bunch of us went up to Brian Head Resort in Utah today. I went with the purpose to learn how to snowboard. Most of the others in our small group were already competent boarders or skiers. I've never done either, although its always been something I have wanted to start.

Regardless of the snowstorm conditions and my now aching legs it was a blast and something I am definitely going to start doing regularly. In the first day I gathered the ability to learn most of the basics of snowboarding. I can actually go down the entire slope without falling, although at a none too fast speed. I can for the most part control my direction, although making sharp right turns often leaves me eating snow. Getting off the ski lift unscathed is still one challenge that must await another day however.

We already have several more trips planned. This is going to be a painful winter.
