By the time spring rolled around, I was so desjerate for physical activity that I was renting Jane Fonda's workout video tapes That way I didn't have to leave the house and could pop them out once a game came on Yes, the first snowfall meant nothing more than the first step in five or six months of a cold, wet and miserable hell That was until about four years ago, when a friend of mine decided it was time for me to stop being so pathetic, and get off my butt. She dragged me, kicking and screaming, to Powder Mountain up the Ogden Canyon You see. Powder Mountain offers a hill called Sundowner that's about as steep as your average driveway, just perfect for me With my rented snowboard and boots, that were slowly seeping water into my tube socks, I proceeded to tumble down the mountain for an entire day I think I only made it down the hill about five times in six hours, and when we were done, you couldn't see one part of my body that w asn't black and blue People do this for fun, I thought to myself as we drove down the canyon This is what all the excitement's about9 I vowed to never take part m that masochistic activity again, and went back to my couch, my NBA on TNT and my bag of potato chips The very next week, there was my friend again, pounding on my door, with the same rented snowboard and the same frayed boots. Jordan Livingston V? x After about an hour of begging and pleading, she finally forced me into the car, and we were back on our way to Powder Mountain My first run down the mountain was more of the same I tumbled and fell, and got angry However, on my second attempt, a miracle happened I made it all the way down without falling All the way down1 1 felt the wind in my face, the pillowy snow under my feet and I was hocked I was back up the than John mountain quicker Stockton to an ice pack. From that day on, I went snowboarding every week, and have considered myself a winter enthusiast since When I looked out my front door the other day and saw this year's first snowfall, I was ecstatic. What once brought me unhappiness and nightmares, is now a source of jubilation and dreams of knee deep powder I'm still not the greatest around, mostly because I can't afford to do it as much as I'd like, the one drawback to the sport But, I have graduated to a bigger board, and boots that actually keep my feet dry Yes, I can say that I really do enjoy seeing snow now Of course it's easier to love when you live m an apartment and don't have to shovel it, but when Mark Eubank kicks down the white jacket, I get all giddy inside So, when I talk to people who where raised m Utah and don't ski or snowboard (news writer Adam Olson), I feel their pain Winter on the outside, is a cruel, heartless woman whose only intention is to chill your bones But when you get out there and deal with the initial bumps and bruises, you realize why people travel from all over the giobe to come here. So think of your first time as initiation into a club you'll never want to leave snow-board- t,.
