Who woulda thought?

On Friday Charles and I went snowboarding at Sundance, up Provo Canyon. We both haven't gone much so we weren't sure how well we'd do. Actually that's an understatement, I at least, thought that I would be horrible judging on my past experience. But, we wanted to go since we both had never been in UT (to an actual resort w/ a lift) and have lived here for almost 9 years now and with our upcoming move to hot and humid Georgia we knew it was either now or never (practically). I had been checking the extended 10 day forecast to plan a day to go right after a snow storm so there would be good snow. It was supposed to snow all day Thursday so I thought Friday would be a good day to go. Turns out it didn't snow at all on Thursday so I was a little skeptical of how good the snow would be up there. Friday it started raining down here but once we got up the canyon it turned into snow and actually snowed almost 4 inches while we were up there which made for nice powdery snow :)

Once we got on the lift we were unsure of where to get off. We accidently missed the first stop and kept going higher up the mountain and I became quite nervous that I wasn't ever gonna be able to get down. Gratefully we got off at the next stop. Fell off I should say. The first time down was kinda rough. We both fell about 20 times. Charles explained to me how I could slow myself down without falling. Upon trying his technique I figured it out! After that I only fell about 3 more times and was doing pretty dang good! This was absolutely shocking because I am usually not good at stuff like this. The last time I tried wake boarding I couldn't even get up! So, I tell Charles to take a picture of me tearing it up and then we discovered that the batteries had died. So, I have no photographic evidence of my newfound skills :(

A BIG thank you to Ruth for watching Azure while Charles and I enjoyed our new favorite winter activity.
