I guess it kind of surprised me a little at first that I couldn&#8217;t pick it up right away&#8230; I mean I&#8217;m so use to being on slippery surfaces as a hockey player and I&#8217;m also a very good surfer too&#8230; so why was this so difficult. Like Mike said&#8230; &#8220;the snowboarding thing is something completely different&#8221;. Thank God the learning curve is quick because we leave for Colorado in two weeks!!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.oceanimagery.com\/frame\/slideshow?key=M8ZLsd&amp;autoStart=1&amp;captions=0&amp;navigation=0&amp;playButton=1&amp;randomize=0&amp;speed=3&amp;transition=fade&amp;transitionSpeed=2\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photo.oceanimagery.com\/Journal\/20090221-Mercersburg-PA\" target=\"_blank\">(View the photo gallery here\u00bb)<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Foceanimagery.com%2Fjournal%2F2009%2F02%2F24%2Fsnowboarding-at-whitetail%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=dark\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 0px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Saturday Julie and I spent the day learning how to snowboard with my brother Mike, Christina and her friend Kelly at Whitetail Resort in PA.
