After a bit of deliberation, Kenny, Julie, Lee and I decided to head up to Stevens Pass for our snowboarding swan song of the season (Stevens actually officially closed last week, but they opened this weekend for a special engagement, in response to an unseasonal downpour of nice fluffy white stuff).
It was great to get an unexpected little treat of a snowboarding trip in, and to spend some quality time with Julie and Lee.
However, I do have a few new snowboarding rules that I’m going to try to remember next time:
- Make sure to get some sleep. I can’t over-emphasize this one.
- Try to eat breakfast.
- If your knees are still messed up from the last time you went snowboarding, maybe you should think a little bit harder about whether you’re willing to strain them again.
Even given the fact that I didn’t follow any of the above advice, I had a great time. But my form was a bit sloppy, probably due to the lack of sleep. Which may explain the really weird fall I took getting off the lift early in the day, during which I twisted my left knee in a very unnatural fashion. I’m walking with a rather pathetic limp right now; I expect that this will put a bit of a cramp in my gym/yoga schedule for the week.
