Snow Boarding... me???

(This is for all you who want me to write more... lol) Ok so ever since i was in high school i've had the life long goal to never ever under any circumstances go snow boarding or skiing. First of all i think it's plain dumb... and second i just hate the snow. Plus living only a half hour from targhee made me really want to reach this goal. Well..... i failed! I'll admit it! Yesterday i went snowboarding!!!! I seriously do not know what got into me! Strapping a board to your feet and sliding down a mountain on snow sounds absolutely ludicrous! But I did it. And as you can see i'm still alive to tell about it!
So anyway my roommate called me yesterday and was like hey let's go snowboarding with my boyfriend and his roommate (who is my other roommates boyfriend). So i was crazy and said yes. So after driving up to kelly canyon we rented our snow board and boots and then got ready to go up the mountain. Ok time out! Has anyone ever told you how the chair lift works??? Well you have to hurry and get in front of the chair with your snow board attached to one foot then the chair comes behind you and scoops you up!!!! It's scarier than heck!!! Luckily i had one of the guys with me. Thanks to him i didn't die, i clung to him for dear life. Then we got to the top (scary theme music) and you have to board down a hill to get off chair... we were holding on to each other and went down the tiny hill and fell in a mess at the bottom! I had the wind knocked out of me. lol. anyway from there we had to go down the mountain!!!! I was shaking like crazy but i couldn't just stay at the top so the boy that was helping me pretty much dragged me down the mountain but by the time i got to the bottom i was doing ok! then i went up again ( i only went up half way). This time i almost survived the chair lift and i made it down the mountain by myself (with the help of the guys in on the chair lift above me cheering me on). Then finally i was just about to the bottom again and i biffed it! I fell face forward in front of everyone at the bottom. It was so embarrassing! But i got right back up and went up the mountain one final time. This time i was at the very top again. After a little help to get over the top edge i went down the entire mountain by myself!!! It was so amazing and i can totally see now why people become ski bums! That is now my future goal in life! To become a board bum! The guys i was with were totally shocked at how well i was doing and i was too. But i did have a few really hard falls and almost crashed into a tree and some how i kept going backwards down the mountain... but i am alive! And i am so going again!
Let me just add this.... i can barely move today! I'm sore in places i didn't even know existed! I have a bruise on my back and i have to sit in one spot and not move... but it was worth it! I would like to declare to the world that snow boarding is the best sport ever!!!!!!!!!
