Here I am, with the vacation half over, taking snowboarding lessons.  This is pretty amusing since I have always looked at the differences in techniques of snowboarders and skiers, and always wished I could do both.  The lesson was great, and I managed to get two runs on Boulder Bowl, the nice easy green run where I first learned how to ski.  Right now my wrists and my bottom are sore from my falls, but it's all good.  I'm not going to learn anything until I fall...at least  a couple times.

So, the attached video is my last run going down hill.  I got my friend to record me after he went down first.  I obviously don't demonstrate any mastery of skill except for basic balance, so I'll see how I am tomorrow, using this video as a benchmark.
