Queen's Cup

This weekend was the Queen's Cup. It was a lot of fun this year, I didn't ski as well as  I wanted, I did better during practice than in the competition. I felt like I got 8th but in fact I actually placed 4th so i guess it wasn't that bad! On a better note this year pretty much all of the girls were stepping it up and throwing cooler tricks than I've seen at most competitions! It was cool to see, the ladies are killing it! (I'm in the red sweatshirt down by the sign!)

Snowboarding isn't that bad :)

This past week has been a pretty good one, my feet are still slowly getting better I finally went to Surefoot and they made me some excellent footbeds, my boots are actually comfortable now and I'll be back to playing on my skis in no time! no more of this lapping through the park watching. Because I couldn't participate on my skis I decided to give snowboarding a try. So my friend Lauryn and I switched, she skied and I snowboarded. My first two runs were not so great, they were very slow and I fell a lot! But after I got the hang of it I learned how to turn, (toe side is the worst!) and I hit a dance floor box!  Its pretty pathetic but I'm very proud of it!!!!

Also I joined the Rime Knits family! Check it out:


Lauryn and I attempting our first run, Willem got in the photo as well.


First time on a snowboard since I was 12 years old.


I fell a bunch of times!

The switch up


These are my new footbeds, they are glorious!! 



We went to El Chubasco's for some delicious food after skiing. If you go there get the Horchata...it's too good!!
