Skiboarding is awesome!

Last week, Georges, my friend Cathy and I took a few days off and went skiing at Blue Mountain.

I am a beginner when it comes to skiing, and I hadn't skied in two years, so I was a bit nervous on the first day. Luckily, I didn't sustain any major injuries (unlike the first time I ever tried skiing when I severely sprained my ankle)!

The weird thing was that after the first day, the muscles in my shoulders and arms were really sore, but not my legs! It seems that having to hold up the ski poles really aggravated my repetitive strain injuries. So, for the remaining days of our trip, I decided to forgo the poles and rented skiboards (a.k.a. mini-skis, skate skis, or snowblades), which are much easier to control than regular skis.

Skiboarding is lots of fun!!! I enjoyed it so much that I am now considering getting a pair of skiboards. These little skis made it so much easier to learn, and I was having a lot of fun by the end of the trip. This was the first time that I could really say I like skiing.
