Took the oldest to go snowboarding. Kissing Bridge is only about 30min from the house. Was a decently warm day (around 25), and it dumped an extra 6in or so on us while we were there.
$55/EA got us both a 90min lesson, boots, boards, and helmets. Spent another 3hrs or so on the bunny slopes afterwards. I've been riding a wakeboard for decades now, this was weirdly different. The whole "standing on a board that's sliding" is the same, but weight placement and turning is pretty different. After the first lesson I had it pretty figured out, but I need a LOT of practice before we graduate off the bunny slopes.
We fell a couple times, and once I re-aggrivated my neck injury. Totally worth it for the oldest to tell me "Best day ever dad" on the way home!
