Walt asked me why I choose to Snowboard after years of working on Skiing?
This is my short story of the long windy road on skis; starting in 1958 on the sledding hills outside of Detroit Michigan. Parents bought me some hickory stick with strap on binding and I started pointing them down hill! They went fast until the hill stopped just don't get in the way!
Later as a teenager I had enough money from delivering pizza's to afford rental and lift ticket at Mt Holly and Brighton to ski; now I could step and jump in the air to turn somewhat! In the late 60's I started skiing in the western part of Virginia Bryce Mt and Wintergreen/ Massanutten. Expending in to southern pennsylvania/ new york/ vermont/ NC even? Skiing was exciting and I loved Racing events, hit those flags. I also developed an interest in ski ballet and freestyle!
Taught skiing at Wilmot Mt in illinois/ wisconsin which move me into training other's cross country and alpine skiing in the military all over the North Atlantic & Europe, after retirement came North Idaho!
Snowboarding began and has never looked back freedom powder and the absolute fun of Faceshot's vice Faceplants!! Making mistakes without a penalty sometimes!!!##$
Happy Holidays to all
Jim & Ted
