Ouch.

Snowboarding hurts. It's official. We took a short one-hour drive to the Summit at Snoqualmie today for lessons and some boarding. Realized pretty quickly that this isn't easy stuff. Shawn managed to get control of his board pretty quickly, while Nathan and I proceeded to struggle with it for the rest of the afternoon. I'm not totally convinced I didn't break my arse in the process...

The highlight of this trip was definitely seeing the snowy mountains in 43-degree weather. It was sunny and not too cold. Just lovely. The mound on the left side of the photo above is not a snow-covered hill, either... it's a drift!
