Girl Gets Board

Mine is a story of obsession.

It started on icy hills, glazed over from cold Minnesota winters, was fueled working in snowboard shops, waxing boards, and memorizing catalogs.

Back in the day, snowboarding in clubs and small teams I would huck myself off of a lot of things to keep up with the boys. I was never super successful at landing. I’m still not.

Now, out in Seattle, I can ride what I always dreamed of growing up. Now, with an income, I can buy a lift ticket and not have to eat Ramen. Getting a season pass this year, I learned that my obsession never went away. It’s back and I love it.

This winter, I want to learn how to land jumps and ride the pow and everything else I didn’t learn back in the tundra. This blog will be my record.
