Next time I'm just going to hit some more of the bigger paths.

I did not wear a helmet. I will be next time though because a couple idiots didn't have their straps around their ankles and their boards went flying over the trees onto the bunny slope. One missed me by about 4 feet but came within inches of a little girl.

Oh, I took a closer look to see if I had a big bruise on my tail, but it looks like a couple of welts that blood came to the surface on. Ouch!

Any time


I don't swear a strap, but my bindings are so solid, I'd have to lose a foot before the board detached from me.

Also if you go to buy a setup, do not buy step in's. Buy ratchet style bindings. Make sure to get one with a nice thick supportive strap and be sure it's the right size for your boots. Spend the money on good boots and bindings. You will be able to enjoy the day if your feet aren't in pain.
