During the winter time I usually go snowboarding. I like to go upstate to a mountain called Windom. The slopes are huge, but I have grown up to handle them. There are many different types of mountains you can go on. There are intermediate mountains, for the beginners, middle mountains, for the average, and the diamond mountain slopes for the experts. I was never able to make it up to he expert mountains because they looked so intense and I only go a couple times per year so I didn't think I was good enough. There is alway a challenge to try a Windom. One of my favorite parts of the mountain was when I went on the ski lift. Its so much fun! I never knew why they called it the ski lift and not the snowboard lift because ski's weren't the only things on the mountains. Maybe its because ski's came before snowboards. I actually never tried sking, I always kept with snowboarding. I have a great ballance which is why I think I am good on 1 board, oppose to 2 boards, like sking. Its a fact that skiers can go faster than snowboarders, but thats ok, we'll catch up. Windom has some awome slops you can go down for tricks. They are very dangerous but people still like to rish their lives everyday by tring new dare devil stunts. I went on the half pipe several time, it was so scary. When your about to make it to the top, you feel like your going to fall off. I also tried the grinding rail, that was much easier and a lot of fun! I hope I return to Windom this year to practice snowboarding again becasue I truly miss it. Snowboarding rocks!
