The Slippery Slope
Sports February 20th. 2010, 12:06pmI grew up in Canada, so we did a lot of skiing as a family on the weekends. In fact, Mom says that I learned how to ski before I learned how to walk. When I started snowboarding, at first my parents almost turned their back on me, acting like it was irreligious or something. Then they saw me compete in a local competition, all decked out in the team snow-pants, jacket, hat, and Snowboard Goggles, and Mom almost starting crying. I think I won the competition that day, but more importantly, I won my parents hearts. All is well on the slopes once again.
