Making it down the mountain

Today Zach and I went skiing and snowboarding at Hilltop Ski Area.  In my only previous attempt to snowboard (off the practice hill) in 2008, I made it on a chair lift once and never made it all the way down the mountain under my own volition.  Today I not only made it down three times, but I also actually enjoyed the last two runs.  In fact, the last run was great, except the very end where it was very steep to me.  I fell back on my go-to technique, sliding down on my butt (works on cross country skis too).  It was a beautiful day with the sun peeking out in the early afternoon and the mountains across the inlet in full view.  I definitely won't wait another two years until I get out again.
