27 - Snow Sports

Merit Badge:  Snow Sports
Counselor:  Greg King
Sponsor:  Sundance Resort
Earned:  March 16, 2011


                         WEB: What did I have to do to earn this merit badge?


Sundance Resort, founded by
Robert Redford, isn't too far from my house.
Even though my face doesn't show it
(I'm tired of my mom taking my picture.)
I was super excited to try snowboarding!

It all starts with the correct boot size.

A Sundance employee is adjusting the boot binding
for my "goofy foot".  That means I board with
my right foot forward.  Most people board with
their left foot forward.

Before I took to the slopes my mom snapped
a photo of me with the Director of Programs
(She put together the Snow Sports Merit Badge clinic.)
at Sundance Resort.

This is me after an awesome evening of
snowboarding.  I was soaking wet
from the March rains.

My ski passes.
 I like how Sundance considers anyone 12+ an adult.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of me actually
boarding.  The first night the camera was out of memory
and the second night it was too dark and rainy.
O'well, it was great to try a new sport and I hope
to snowboard again next week.
