Snowboarding is simple
Snowboarding is simple. It is a simple thing that took over many people's hearts, including mine. The indescribable feeling cannot compare to anything else.
What I always wanted was to connect to a sport, the way my parents did to climbing. When I started snowboarding, a weird tingly feeling of stoke, pleasure and screaming from the inside took over my body.
I couldn't control myself, rather embraced it. Embraced the sensation. For the first time, I was comfortable with uncomfortable. It was foreign yet I was fine with it.
Years went by and I found myself searching for more snow. Untouched spots. Untouched powder hunts, checking the forecast 5 times a day, getting more and more into the backcountry, deeper into the sport. Traveling far away, far out.
