I went snowboarding.

I went snowboarding today. I the beginning it wasn't so good because it was so, I couldn't really snowboard. And in the end he said he wasn't joking, he was serious, but that I know everything I need to know to be a real snowboarder. Here's a snowboarding computer game that I like:Snoboarder xs. It was super fun! I watched my dad go down the hill. He was cool, but he fell before he even got to the "slow" sign before the hill started.

The hill we went on was nicknamed "The Bunny Run" because it was easiest, shortest, and the ski lift wasn't as high run. And most of the other runs were high speed. And they were called quads, but they really could only hold 3 people, you could put 4 on if you wanted to be squished. And mine is the only one that wasn't a high-speed ski lift.

The lift was called the Explorer, the run was called the Explorer II, but people just called it the explorer, the same as the lift, because the lift went right through the middle of the run. It's the shortest lift on the map on the wall inside. When I went snowboarding, I mainly had my heels pointing down and my toes pointing up, so I was leaning on my heels, and that helped me not go so fast, because putting your heels back is your brakes. When you put your toes forward, it doesn't slow you, but stops you completely and digs up snow, because there are a few inches of snow on top that aren't so hard. The snow is hard because they are driven over with big machines called Snow Cats. I joke about how they are big fat cats that like to play in the snow.

The snowplow we saw on Grandma's street today was pretty cool. It looks more like a giant snow blower, because it dug up snow in the front and blew snow out the back.

My snow board was about as big as Sophie and went up to my mouth. Dad's snowboard and Jessika's skis and Karen's snowboard and Uncle Danny's snowboard were really big and they were WAY taller than me.

See you later!
