Weekend wrapup
Oh, I went snowboarding on Saturday, first time this season. It was at Northstar, went with my friend Shannon and her friend Nathan. It was really fun.

We got up at the crack of dawn, my alarm went off at 3:15, I was over at Shannon's before 4am, we were at the bus at 4:25. Most of the trip up, I slept. :)

The snow was mediocre, the midday crowds were huge, but I got back into the groove relatively quickly, even making it down one black diamond reasonably well. Mostly I was on blues with Shannon which was fun, it seems like we are speed compatible, which is good in a skiing/boarding buddy. :)

I was surprised how hard strapping in to my board was, lol. Clearly my core strength is down, I would get out of breath squeezing myself to reach the straps. I think I need new boots, my old ones just don't give me a tight enough fit to feel like I have enough control.

I definitely want to get back up more, turns out [info]lorelai boards, so I'm expanding my circle of people to go with. :)

i'm kicking myself for buying noob boots (they are meant for easy breezy coasting down the mountain). they're comfortable, sure, but they loosen after a run and i have to huff and puff at the bottom to tighten them again.

I'm really considering buying better boots for next season, I feel like my trailing foot has too much movement in the boot no matter how tight I yank the laces. Plus it seems like there has to be a better tightening system than just pulling boot style lacing tight...
