Snowboarding

Snowboarding: Dec 2007/Jan 2008 A few fun pics, just because. Summary - the 6 of us, plus a friend of Maddie's, went to NY for the week after Christmas to learn to snowboard. Maddie and Carly (friend) already knew how...the rest, well, they had a blast. Just a nice romantic week in the mountains for, well, seven. ;o)

Result -

Maddie - Looks WAY too cute as a snow bunny for my taste. She's really good, but she's been doing it for a few years. She had fun showing off, since none of us had seen it before.
Bryan - Everything is methodical...planned, looks great, and stable but still really fun. All about the Form and Skill it takes to move, and move fast.

Kathryn - a Natural! She just looked like she'd been doing it forever. Takes a hit, fall, tumble...and keeps going.
Joe - remains Fearless. Went down the mountain, flying, past the crew was was resting off to one side, shouting "TALLY HO", and promptly Wiped Out off a jump he never saw coming, because, well, he wasn't Watching. Just about blew out his knee, but hey, it looked good.
Chris - Loved it, but returned to skis by the end. He's still crazy enough to do triple black diamonds, OR, worse yet, take THREE brand new snowboarders down the full mountain.
