I pretty much went from being the worst and slowest snowboarder at blue mountain at the beginning of last season to one of the fastest (not necessarily best) on the slopes by the end of the season. We went up every friday afternoon of the season, rain or snow, for night skiing and I picked it up really really fast. I had snowboarded twice before last season, years ago, but I've always skiied alot and did a little racing when I was younger. If you've got a skating background you're probably a leg up on what I was already.

Since I'm a working man now, I can't take every friday afternoon off, although I'm saving a few holidays to spend on ski trips. You're gonna have alot of fun Keith and a very sore ass. Also a soggy ass depending on the weather. And a stupid grin on your face.
