Aside from jump-starting cars, shoveling driveways and wadingthrough unshoveled sidewalks, what are you doing in/with the snow?
I just came back from a full 5-days of skiing in fresh powder. It was, well…A time to learn from my mistakes but in there were many nice things about freezing your behind of while going to a mountain with two poles and your feet glued to a platform. The weather was beautiful; clear skies, great visibility, fresh powder and a rather warm -4 degrees Celsius.
Let me just say I wouldn’t give up my day job to become a professional skier. Frankly, the sport was much harder than it looks like on TV. Those athletes make it seem easy. It’s the exact opposite. Even if you think you have unbelievable co-ordination.
So why did I try skiing instead of snowboarding? One reason only. (And a good one, too.) There is no way I can go down the slopes with both my feet restricted to a board. Not a chance. You might as well lock my wrist to the dashboard of a truck going down the mountain at full speed.
What are YOU doing in the snow? Making snowmen, building snow forts? Or even snowball fights (I would have to save that for a whole other post, or book in my case.)
