Hi Everyone. This posting is inspired by the 2010 Olympic snowboarding halfpipe. American Shaun White won the gold medal today. Yeah. My one and only snowboarding experience occured about six years ago. An experienced snowboarding ex-boyfriend of mine took me to Stevens Pass for my snowboarding initiation. First he helped me down the bunny slope one time ( I really want to emphasize the one time), and then we were off to an intermediate slope, (it had a halfpipe on the run). As soon as we got off the lift, almost breaking my neck, the "ex" disappeared down the run leaving me all alone. Did I mention he is an"ex"-boyfriend. Anyway, I was freaked out and slowly made it to the halfpipe area. I spent about an hour watching great snowboarders dropping into the halfpipe with great runs. I decided to scoot on my butt down the rest of the hill, and I ended up with frosty the snowman attached to my rear.
