Getting ready for the mountains day 2 at Hyland Hills! After bribing the tow rope with a cookie it let me ride it to the top without bucking me off. Then I finally figured out how to turn from toe to heel (the easy part) and back to toe (the hard part). Realized I wasn’t putting enough weight on my front foot and the board was coming out from underneath cause I was leaning back. The final boss was the ski lift. With no stomp pad on my new board, I was 100% certain I was going to eat shit off the lift, to my enthusiastic surprise that was not the case. Pushed right off and got 5 more laps up and down on the greens making good turns back and forth between toe and heel. I’m a certified shredder now and feeling more confident for my trips to Colorado and Montana in 2025!
