Snowboarding Season

I took my 7 and 9 year old kids snowboarding last week. It was a lot of fun. We went to Park City, Utah — all three of us have season passes there. I enrolled the kids in an all-day session. Park City has a 1:5 ratio for teachers to students and, fortunately, the kids’ class only had 4 kids and their instructor was very cool and very good at teaching. At the end of the day, I caught up with the kids and they were riding down the hill well. I was a proud dad. Next time, probably next week, the kids and I will be hanging on the mountain snowboarding together. I can’t wait.

It’s an investment, to be sure. Snowboarding stuff isn’t cheap. The kids and I have all our snowboarding gear, but I’m hoping that this will be a long-term thing that we do as a family every winter. The kids’ boards are below; I took pictures of them riding down the hill, but the pictures didn’t turn out well (I was too far away). I’ll take better pictures next time.
