Snowboarding is the best sport invented on a mountain. I've been skiing since I was 16, but stopped the first time I decided to try snowboarding. My first day out was a miserable one. I was so frustrated from falling and breaking my fall was killing my wrists. After the second day, I was ready to turn in my board and get some skis again, however, we decided to try one more half day. That second day changed my view of the situation. I can't say I was perfect, but things started to click. It was simply incredible. I've only had skis on one time since then, and only because my daredevil cousing wanted to give boarding a shot...Oh and my ankle was broken.
