To get out a home. To be on the snow. For the felling of adrenalin. For being outside in winter. Keep from being full alcoholic. So many other reasons to.

Because it's the closest ill get to flying. Besides, it's hard to surf on snow.

Thanks Gary ,Sikskier and smallytele . Yeah i didnt take up alpine till i was 52 , but had 20 yrs of xc behind me so it wasn't too bad once i got over the speed . then i became a damn adreneline junky
had ro make up for lost time.You young guns will be fine tho, u come to learn that aging is just a freaking number and if you eat right , exercise religiously , have great relationship with family and friends the rest is EASY . I may be 70 on sarurday BUT i'm the best damn 70 i can be hahahaha. Just for shits and giggles i took some new fangled biomedical exam last week and found out that the old body is like a 57 yr old and my projected life expectancy is 93 .... Now THAT was a real WTF moment
but hey my medical metrics are all off the charts according to my doc so i am very blessed at this point and STILL dont know what in hell im going to do WHEN//IF i ever grow up

Yeah? Well I eat horribly, never exercise, and fight with everyone I meet. And I also have the body of a 57 year old!! ...of course I'm only 43.
Happy Birthday...keep it up!

I used to ski because my parents took me and I enjoyed going fast.
I started snowboarding because I wanted to challenge myself to something new. Now I snowboard because its so liberating to unplug from the digital world and just be free. There's still so much for me to challenge myself to get better at. I enjoy setting goals and achieving them with my riding and pushing myself to get better. Its also not half bad flying through the air and carving the thinnest lines I can manage. 8)
