A Beginner's Guide to the Slopes

Close your eyes and imagine it’s a warm, sunny day in January. In the distance, snowflakes dance like white butterflies on a summer’s day. You’re riding up a chairlift while snow-covered treetops pass by so close you could almost touch them. Below you, skiers and snowboarders descend the slopes making seemingly endless curves in the white powder. As you approach the hilltop, you know this is your moment. This is your chance to paint your own picture onto the blank white canvas of this hill.

If, like me, this is something you have only dreamed of, now is the time to make it a reality.

This winter, instead of hibernating on the couch, I am going to
grab winter by its frosty horns and learn how to ski and snowboard!

And, because I'm a sucker for embarrassing situations, I am going to document every step of my experience so that all of you can share my experiences and learn from my mistakes.

Stay tuned this season for tons of photos, videos, tips and tricks to help you conquer the slopes!
