It was a brisk 13 below with a slight breeze as I headed out\nof the lodge to meet with my Snowboard crew for our second-last training\nsession together. Everyone was huddled around, catching up on our past weeks\nbefore heading up the chair to hit the slopes together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cody, our instructor from the first week, was back today. After\nwe got in a few warm-up laps, he watched us all closely and commented about how\nmuch progress we had all made. Though I don\u2019t necessarily notice the progress I\u2019ve\nmade in the moment, when I look back on where I was at in day one, I definitely\nam seeing some huge growth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This excerpt from the first day<\/a> exemplifies this: \u201cOne by one, we all strapped onto boards and were sliding our way down the hill\u2014some of us facing uphill, some of us facing downhill, all of us quite wobbly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Wamaitha, Mitchell, Sharon and I are certainly still\nfar from being expert snowboarders, we are much less wobbly than we were at\nfirst. We are also now able to transition from edge to edge to varying degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cody was a huge help, offering specific advice on weight\ntransfer, body positioning, and more! I can\u2019t help but feel lucky that our\ngroup had two different instructors over the five weeks (Cody and Dan) to share\ndifferent perspectives and tips on how to snowboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For me personally, the next step to improving my\nsnowboarding is to get out and practice more! Although I currently am training\nfor a ski race, once I complete it I will definitely be snowboarding on the\nhill more often, working on all of the skills, tips, and tricks that Cody and\nDan have given over the past month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I met someone curious about signing up for the adult\nsnowboarding lessons, I would say, \u201cgo for it!\u201d There is so much room to grow,\nwhether you have never been on a snowboard or are looking to take your current skills\nup to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Signing up for the lessons certainly pushed me out of my\ncomfort zone (on skis) and got me experiencing what life is like on one plank\ninstead of two! I am not quite ready for the mountains yet, but snowboarding is\ncertainly is a sport I see myself carrying on with and growing in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in trying out adult snowboarding lessons<\/a> for yourself, the next 5-week program starts on Sunday, February 23 or Monday, February 24. Tuesday is Ladies Night<\/a>\u2014adult ski and snowboard lessons for women only\u2014starts on February 18th<\/sup>! There are still spots available, so call guest services today to book your spot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you next week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
