Snowboarding at Mountain High

Today I went snowboarding for my first time at Mountain High with my friends! My other friend has snowboarded once before (the one who went to Disneyland with me) and it was my other friend's first time as well. We all took lessons together at 1:00 since the 10:00 lesson was filled. It was pretty scary and hard at first, but we got the hang of it. One of my friend's dad wouldn't let us go on the ski lift to the bunny slope because he said we weren't good enough :( we were planning to all go together and fall together xD but the other really small slope was fun anyway :)

We rented the equipm
ent. I thought it was cool how they write your name on the board and it didn't come off after getting wet in the snow :D The snow was really soft and fun to play with too.

For lunch we ate in the ca
feteria area and listened to these rock bands that were really loud... and since there weren't any other tables available, we had to sit behind people who were smoking and drinking. The smoke really bothered me and I got a headache from it... when we left I felt really relieved. :D

It was also incredibly hot! I wore all these layers expecting that I would get cold, but I was sweating. There were even some people wearing sleeveless shirts.

Here are some pic
tures I took:



My name on the snowboard :D ( you can kind of see the name from the person who used the board before I did... looks like... Janel?)

My friend and I with our boards.




Once again, I don't know how to flip the picture... sorry. xD Anyway, here I am on my board :)

This is a good picture of when we fell. haha :] (we did fall a lot... mainly because these little kids were taking lessons and got in our way so we were forced to stop quickly in order to not hurt them... and fall xD)


On the way to Mountain High there were these really cool rock formations. Here's one of them :)

It was really fun and exciting :D Now I can say I know how to snowboard... but I can't say I'm really good at it xD Next time I go snowboarding, I plan to advance to the bunny slope ;) haha

Sorry I made you wear all those layers of clothes, haha!

Skip the bunny slopes - next time you can go on the beginner's slopes!

Forget the beginner slopes. Next time hit the super hard downhill advanced slopes - complete with ramps, grind rails and half pipes!

I've never been snowboarding in my life, you're so lucky...

Yea, Mira's dad said not to go on the bunny slope...it was still fun. Next time, let's just go to Cue!, it's too much hassle to plan and get things for a snowboarding trip.
