Cool video and yep, for Day 1 he’s cruising! Skiing/snowboarding isn’t super difficult but it’s so much fun. I’m always surprised how many people have never tried it and don’t have any interest at all in doing so. It’s like sledding as a kid, but you don’t have to pull the sled up the hill. Sign me up!

Well....and you can't catch a toe edge on a sled. :-) You can see he very nearly catches a toe edge at :33. Took my kids snowboarding this weekend and saw enough of those to last a lifetime. But I can already tell, the skate punks that they are, a couple more times and they're going to be better than me. And I've been boarding for 25 years.
Cool that Kamara's in Montana, which is where I learned. If that were Colorado, that slope would be a LOT more crowded.
Give a great athlete just a little time and they can master all kinds of activities....quickly.
Ok, while I'm not a world class athlete, I think I could do that Day 1. But, at the ripe old age of 60, I'm not going to try.

Ha....that's what my son thought. It's harder than it looks...and if you catch a downslope toe edge, the first thing that hits the snow is your face, which is always fun...
I saw that. He is very good. I absolutely love snowboarding. It is one of my favorite things about winter.

Those thoughts were going through my mind, but keeping the kids off my lawn is prolly more in my wheelhouse. Although there is that momentary thought every time the phone rings, it may be the Twins looking for their next 3rd baseman.

ha, if my phone rings I am hoping its the twins as well, but I am thinking about a completely different kind of baseball.
