Snow (14)

It's starting to get cold out and as everyone knows in Utah, that means snow! (unless we have another year like last year, meh) I absolutely love the snow. A lot of the people I come in contact with don't really understand why I like it so much. Most people like bright sunny days, palm trees, the beach, and that sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, I like all those things too of course, but there's something about snow that I just can't get over. I'm sure part of these feelings come from the fact that I enjoy skiing and snowboarding. I got to go snowboarding for the first time this year last week and it was so much fun! I went with a few of my friends from high school and we had a blast!

We went to Park City and started out in the terrain park playing around on the jumps and the rails they had set up. Even early in the season they already had 20 ft. jumps and creative rail combinations to mess around on. After a few runs there we went to got meet up with my friend's cousins on som other runs. At first we couldn't find them so we decided to race. We have an app that tracks how fast you go and we decided to see just how fast we could go. We did this a few times and reached max speeds from 48 to 55 mph. Almost as fast as my personal record of last year, 61 mph.

The adrenaline rush of going fast and going off jumps, cliffs, and other obstacles keeps me coming back and trying new things! All of this only made possible through the snow. If you don't like the winter maybe try some of these activities and you won't be able to be patient enough for the snow to come back next year!

Here's one of the jumps we had so much fun on.
