Hot tubbing has to commence after a day of being on the hill. Ok sure sure its fun to be out of your gear and in your bikini, drinking a beer, and socializing with some cuties. Ladies honestly! If you are going to ride more than one day you have to hot tub it. I hot tub usually every time after I ride, no matter how bad I want to take a disco nap I force myself. You will not be sore the next day! Soak yourself in that human stew and work out the kinks. I rode in Whistler 4 days in a row, in  pow, my friends were dropping like flies due to soredom, why was I able to continue riding? Because I hot tubbed it! I am sooo sore right now. We went to Baldy on Saturday and I don’t have a hot tub in my ghetto apartment wah! 

Hot tub it sexies!

Skating is a crucial skill for snowboarding. I have always felt week in this area, eventhough I have been riding for 8 seasons. I would still have that occasional fall getting off the lift or totally spazzz out on the lift line almost knocking everyone down like dominos. This summer I invested in a skateboard. A beautiful bamboo Arbor bug. I skated around most of the summer and felt my control increasing! I associated every move like being on a snowboard. Yeah, I suffered some scrapes and bruising, but now that I’m on my snowboard I am totally rocking out skating around! Getting off the lifts this past weekend at Blady was a major @#$%! Erica fell everytime on the steep slope, but I just rode it out! (Sorry E! love ya!) Here’s some tips for skating around with one leg confined and all twisted up.

*Keep your body centered

*Place your weight on your front foot

*Push off using your free foot (back foot) keeping it within your stance

*Make small controlled push-offs until you gather some speed

*Put your foot on your stomp pad and ride it out!

*Press gently on your edge if you need to stop, always staying in control!

Be fierce out there ladies!
