Winter Camp 2012: Day 2

(slow instrumental music)

I forgot how much anticipation and sort of weirdness,

around the mornings there are.

Everybody's in their own little world

and people aren't really talking to each other.

There's a lot of nervous laughter.

Then you get through that first run and everybody

just opens up and everybody just has the big smile

on their face.

Joking around again.

(Energetic rock music)

I haven't been on a snowboard in about 12 to 15 years,

so I took a lesson today.

I went out with my instructor, Cara, who was awesome.

Taught me everything that I needed to know.

We started at zero

and sort of accelerated towards, about forty.

We finished up after, I think, about four hours,

and I'm totally wiped.

But, I feel really confident.

I was doing full runs without falling down.

I'm really looking forward

to going back out again, tomorrow.
