Snowboarding season opened yesterday! So, of course I was there when the lifts started running. It is a completely different sport this year. At the end of last season I was nearly 80 lbs heavier than I was this year. My coat and pants no longer looked like sausage casing, in fact they are the same outer wear I used last year and I am drowing in them.
Last season I would be huffing and puffing just getting off the lift and trying to strap in, it's hard to explain but imaging trying to stap your feet to a board when you can't see them. I was even able to get up on my heel edge, something I have never been able to do because my gut was in the way of bending. Yesterday I took 7 runs in a row without pausing. It felt incredible! I have never had so much fun boarding It is going to be a great season!

Wow! Yippie!!

I think that is awesome that you can enjoy nature and something you obviously love unhindered and unburdened by extra pounds! You go, girl!! WOHOO!!!!

That is one of my dreams - to enjoy winter sports. My college had many ski trips and I never went because of the "sausage factor" you mentioned.

Way to go! Let that be the push that gets you the rest of the way to goal! You can do it and great NSVs like this certainly help.

Great job, Lenainie!
Where do you board? Good snow in Utah this year (as always), I hear...

[Lenainie]

I board at Brighton (well this year). It was a surprisingly good opening, more snow than expected even some powder to be found in the trees. Here's to hoping for a long wet winter
