Valentine's Day at Wisp

This past weekend B, Kell, Nick and I went to Wisp to snowboard.  We had such a fabulous time!! 

We all celebrated V-Day on Sat- on the mountain.  We started on the bunny hill to gain some confidence and to try and figure out what we were doing.. Eventually we went down some greens and then worked our way back to the bunny hill to practice some control.

On Sat night we went to a restaurant called Santa Fe Grill.  It was pretty good and we were starving having only eaten hotel breakfast in the morning.  Needless to say we were exhausted from riding 10-4.. and after dinner we were in bed by 9:30.  

On Sunday we had a lesson with Kell's instructor from the day before.  He was an insanely great teacher and really helped us figure out what we were doing and what we were doing wrong.  He helped us work on our toe side turns and by the end of the session B and I were connecting 3 and 4 turns using heel side and toe side!! It was such a super feeling after falling down the mountain the day before.  

Each day is an improvement from the last..which makes this up coming weekend so very exciting.
