Snowboarding

One thing to do in the winter is snowboard. You can go up into the mountains and take your board and try different things and see if they work or not. I love to snowboard during the winter. It makes me calm when I am doing something that is fun and exciting. I first learned how to snowboard about a year or so ago, and I fell in love with it.
My brother had taught me in our back yard when he built a ramp out of the snow that year. I gave in when he kept asking me how to learn. It was so fun that I went out everyday to see if I could get better and better at it. The board people use can vary from person to person and the boots that go with the board varies also.

When you are out with your friends it can be even better. You can laugh and have fun, and try and beat each other in tricks, how fast you can go, and also who eats the snow harder. In other words who crashes better, or funnier.

I love all kinds of sports and can’t imagine not doing them. When you are on the mountain you are in fresh air and you can just take a deep breath and slide down the mountain just getting rid of your frustration and anger that you have. For me, it is a stress releaser, and just plain awesome to do.

I never really liked the cold, but now I look forward to the winter so that I can go snowboarding or even just down the driveway at my old house; but falling on the driveway hurts a lot worse than it does on the mountains. I love to go with friends and ride our snowmobiles up to the spots and then just have them drive me up the mountain and race down with me. A lot of people think of me as very sporty.

But, I am going to say that I love winter sports a lot more than summer. The cold can just make you breathless while the hot summer days make me think a lot and have nothing really to do because it is so hot.

The snow suits that we have to wear to go boarding are so fun; you can not really feel anything while your wearing them, so you can wrestle in the snow and fall. You can also try to race in 6 feet deep snow banks. For me, every time that I am playing outside in the winter I have a fantastic time, loosing track of the real time but, I love it, and I think it is fun to do. I cannot wait until the winter is here.
