Today was my first outing of the season. I don't do tricks, I've never stepped into the park, I only do machine groomed runs. My last run of the day was one of Blue Mountain's blue square runs (first blue square I've done there in my life), and I have to say it was quite challenging. Most of the run was spent trying to just keep my footing and slow myself down, rather than having fun and skiing down in a controlled manner. It felt like I was just trying to survive the run down, rather than working on my form and control. There was one other guy there on Snowblades, but as always, 99% of everyone was skiing or snowboarding.
It seems that everyone in our community spends most of their time on jumps, boxes, backyard setups, etc. (at least from the videos I always see posted).
Are there any riders out there like me, who just like to do greens and blues (and the odd black diamond) as a simple alternative to skiing and snowboarding, to just get down the mountain?
I guess my experience out there today was a bit of a wake-up call, to re-question why I love this sport in the first place.
Why do you skiboard?
