v1.0 beta

went snowboarding for the second time yesterday and i have more bruises and aches than the first time. parts of the hill were just ice.. and flipping out on ice at high speeds = not good. why didn't i stay on the beginner hill? because i'm male 18-25 meaning that i should take a lot of stupid risks. the location of my bruises has changed from my first time.. now i always flip out on the toe edge instead of the heel edge. i think i'll give myself 2 more days to learn snowboarding. if it doesn't work out, i'll just be a skier for life.

after skiing in tahoe 5 times last year then coming back to ontario skiing is kind of disappointing. the name "blue mountain" although the best ski place in ontario, is misleading. it should really be called "blue hill". i understand now why you vancouver natives sort of laugh at it. yesterday at blue was pretty busy... sort of like boxing day shopping - long lift lines and 1 hour to find parking.
