When Snowboarding

Do not forget

1- Non-Whiskey Flask

Everyone else will bring Whiskey so be creative and bring another choice of ingredient for the flavored snowball. My choice this year…Fireball.

2- Tums & Friends

Enough said

3- Bend your knees and let it happen

If you’re like me and only snowboard once or twice a year it’s easy to forget to keep your point of gravity low. Sure, it will take your body two or three days to remember, but if you remember before you body does it will save you a few unnecesary trophy bruises.

4- Ibuprofen & Naproxen

These go together like rum and coke, like tequila and lime, like wine and…You get the idea. Naproxen for body pain, Ibuprofen for the stupid and delicious mistake of making fireball flavored snowballs.

5- Stop bitching

I don’t care how bad the mushiness some call snow is where you are, how heavy the snow is falling, how hot or cold or how sunny or cloudy; just take a look around and remind yourself you are the lucky one. The one that is outside of the office, on a beautiful mountain in the middle of nowhere with a board hanging from your feet.
