I started out as a skiier. Slow learner, didn't learn how to parallel stop until I was about to run into a line of people. Got decent, and did it like 1-2 times a year for a few years.
This year I picked up snowboarding because my friends and I couldn't think of what to do and were like... why not? I basically had to relearn how to retraverse the mountain and it...hurt for the next four days, but it was fun. Quads hurt like crazy because the first few days I couldn't stop toeside, so any slowing down was just skidding on my heels. Learned toeside one day out of nowhere...and still can't do switch decently. Good enough to not freak out that I'm in switch though =]
Then I went a lot of times after that and it was fun. And I now have too many boards for no good reason!
