resistance to persistence

I can’t believe it! At the start of the year, I proposed we head to Alaska to try out some new areas. After seeing too many snowboard videos where people sat in Alaska hotels waiting for the rain to stop, we reconsidered and decided on heading to the British Columbia interior (Kicking Horse, Fernie, etc). As of last week, another idea made it on the table. Austria! Skican has a great package price for a week of riding. One of our friends booked his trip there after having to cancel out of the same trip this year. I checked with J (you can see who wears the pants in this relationship) and she said I should go for it. The rest of the crew was in for it too. So at the end of February, I’ll be heading to Innsbruck, site of 2 Winter Olympics and surrounded by a whole lot of mountains. I can’t wait. It’s gonna be crazy. This also goes towards accomplishing one of my life goals - snowboarding on 3 continents. I think South America will be next. Chile or Argentina in September would be great.

If anyone’s been riding in Innsbruck, leave me some comments…let me know where to go and which mountains to ride. Now I’ve gotta hit the gym and get fully ready to ride.
