Skiing & Snowboarding Update, March 2, 2008

Pats Peak, Henniker, NH – 3/2/08

Did a half day of snowboarding. Messed around with my stance width and pretty sure I had it set too wide. After about two runs my quads were on fire. As a beginner, I’m still fighting the board a bit and trying to dial in an angle that feels best for me. More experimentation and boarding needed.

The kids skied well. Abby took a path off a green run onto a short black diamond and went through the woods. She handled it with ease. Cate just loves the speed and picks a line that is almost straight downhill – and she stays in control and can turn on a dime. Next week, I think we’ll hit Cranmore and BW again.
