first post!

i am a snowboarder, who has had to take some extended leave from the sport due to my decision to start a family. i learned to ride in 2003 with my now husband in hopes that it would bring us closer together as a couple, and it did! i fell in love with the sport after day 4 or 5 before that it was pure hell! since then we have travelled all over the u.s. and rode mostly in the east but have made a few trips to ride in utah, which is amazing if you've never been, go! 

i am really missing riding lately, thus the creation of this blog. i keep dreaming about going again and wondering if i will still be able to after having a child, or if things have changed with my body so much that i would have forgotten how to? is it more like riding a bike?? i'm just not sure. well the weather here in jersey isn't really optimal for riding anywhere near us, and me being a stay at home mom doesn't afford us the luxury of going to vt, or utah whenever we want anymore, so i really miss it, as does my husband i'm sure. 

i do follow alot of the major competitions and would love for my husband to be able to compete someday? who knows it could happen?? i'm excited for the xgames to start, and am not sure when the dew tour will air but i will be checking that out shortly!

january is learn to ski/ride month so if you've always wanted to learn now is the time to get up and get out and do it! remember me sitting inside because i can't afford to go and enjoy it to the fullest!

more to come...
