The buzz is short and the crash is hard. Trail mix that has fruit, nuts and seeds are available at the store and some even come with chocolate if you must have it. Watch out for the midday beer or more. At the end of the day, drink all the water you want or can handle before you swagger into the apr s ski party like a movie star. If you load up on water and keep the alcohol to a minimum, you will be ready to disco all night and hit he moguls all day.
Every day can be a great day to ride even if the weather is terrible.
Riding your snowboard is the best way to get into shape for snowboarding so make the most of your trip to the hill by riding when you can. If the day is flat feeling and grey, work on short swing turns until your heart rate is up and your legs are getting sore. Use different lanes and terrain to test your ability to remain in tempo and in control. Alternate between large turns and small turns every five big turns and twenty small turns. You will get good training in the area of alignment and foundation with this drill.
