Well since I have only been to mountains about 4 or 5 times I can still consider my self an advid beginner. Well the most recent was that I was at Blue Mtn in PA right after it rained and it was all ice. I was about to shit my pants in the morning because that's all it was. Well they have 2 HUGE Double Blacks right in the middle and the bros I was with decided to go down. The first big drop I carved down smoothly going about 20mph maybe 25. Then a HUGE patch of ice came where it was flat. All I remember is thinking I was going to bail but thank god I didn't. Then, after that was the second drop and I gained so much speed on and I was going about 30mph and I catch the front edge of my board flipping and falling right on my hip. Thank god nothing broke because I would have been screwed. Well I just start cursing into the snow cause of the pain but my bud Andrew came up and helped me laugh it off. By the end of the day, I was back at it haha.

Me and some friends went to Les Deux Alpes in france, we had a great time there. (It was during the belgian championship, i know, i know, belgian championship in france? It's because belgium isn't much of a snowy-country) Well, when we got there, i wasn't really experienced, it was the 2nd time i went for a ride. Ever. So You had rides down with categories, first green, and at the end black. Totally confident i went straight ahead to the black park, witch was pretty steep, barely anny snow, just ice. So i went down, and i fell imediatly, but it was so steep i kept going and going faster, and faster. I thought i was going to die.(HAHA) At the end, i managed to get a grip on the little snow there was, and started to slow down. At the end, some really experienced guy helped me to slow down. I thanked him, i said, in dutch ofcourse (in dutch it's: heel erg bedankt!) witch ofcourse means, thanks dude, i owe you one! So i got down the hill, looked back and saw a whole trace left behind by my ass. Then i remembered the pain, looked at my pants, and they we're ripped apart. Lucky for me there we're enough stores there!


I remember how scared i was, and how foolish. Now i really am pissed at myself for being so ignorant. HAHA, but now, me and my friends from back then still laugh about it. Great times!

First time I went was to Hunter Mtn, NY for 3 days when I was 12ish. My mother took me and she tried boarding too. It was a really bad season. The whole mountain was groomed solid ice. The grooves would stay visible till about 2pm cause they were so rock solid. I busted my ass so many times I was black and blue everywhere. Kept with it though, 3 full days 6 hours a day. I got carving by the second day. 3rd day I tried a blue and almost wet myself cause it was icy as hell. Fortunately, now I know better than to go to a crappy hell hole like Hunter.
