I guess it all started back in 2010.

My buddy Kyle took me out to Northstar for the first turns of the season on opening weekend.

Eventually I came across Newschoolers, and my life took an immediate and uncorrectable turn.

Skiing: It’s Just Snowboarding

Summer NSG was undeniably sweet and it got me through the offseason all right.

I kept snowboarding that next year, until the edit I credit to changing my life was released.

It was a pair of beat up ar7’s with sth 16’s, and some old dalbello boots.

All of this was mine for a whopping 200 bucks or so.

COMPARISONS

Starting up:

Snowboarding- When I was learning I fell.

My body was covered in bruises at the end of the day.

Getting Good:

Snowboarding- From experience, once you get the hang of snowboarding, it just clicks.

Progressing is much easier and a whole lot faster.

Going through the park and trees and powder even seems natural to some extent.

I mean, has anyone actually truly mastered the sports as a whole?

No matter how hard it is, a yard sale is a yard sale and it looks gnarly.

Why do these comparisons matter?

all fall under the same blanket category of skiing, then why can’t snowboarding too?

So again, skiing: it’s just snowboarding.

Or vice versa, whatever floats your boat.
