day 32. snowboarding. skiing. sunday river. 1/12.

again i took three runs on my board during my break. took it nice and easy and worked on riding out my turns. a few more of these "baby-steps" and i should be able to bust out my board for real on a day-off. then when i'm ready i'll start riding to all the top shack breaks. a couple of weeks from now maybe? kasmira had ski practice and again said the gates were very hard. tomorrow i'm letting her skip school and we're going to mt. cranmore in north conway. since i have to "work" all weekend every weekend i figure an occasional midweek excursion is necessary for us to get our fun runs in together. besides having considerable sentimental value for me, cranmore is a fun midweek mountain because it is a rare smaller mountain with a high speed chair. four minutes to the top and pretty much all greens and blues to cruise. its also 100% free of charge thanks to a manager's letter from sunday river and her winterkids passport. sweet. we'll get our skiing in fo' sure.
