Spent last Saturday at @marmotbasin snowboarding. By snowboarding I mean struggling to stay upright while somewhat falling down the mountain. What an amazing day. In the summer we have so many outdoors activities and I’m hoping snowboarding can become something we do as a family in the winter. What is your favourite winter activity? . . . . #snowboarding #snowboard #snowboarder #learnsomethingnew #learntosnowboard #winteractivities #mountains #marmotbasin #afamilythatplaystogetherstaystogether #familysnowboarding #jasper #myjasper #venturebeyond #travelcanada #parkscanada #jaspernationalpark #travelalberta #fatmommygetsfit #mmfitness #themountainsarecalling #rockymountainlove (at Marmot Basin)

It's snowing in Denver.

I have been chasing endless summer for a decade now.  Ever since I could "do what I want."  (... I've always done what I've want.)

And I wanna DANCE!  Like no one's watching.. but then.. I like to hold a hula hoop so usually people do look. Bop it, flip it, flop it, twist it.

So yeah, it's snowing.  I got some boots from the thrift store.  DC snowboard boots, Nike half calf snow boots, those khaki colored lumberjack boots, some beanies and a snowboard jacket.   Actually, I think it's a ski jacket.  trick skis.  Half pipe. ARvada.  No wait, that's where I am now.  Armada.  It's black.

Like my soul.

JKJK, The colors of my soul are definitely fuck yeah blue, purple, aqua, teal ish type colors.  Cool colors.  Those colors are inside the jacket.  (just like they are inside  my soul.)  I mean, ya know, like if I could interior decorate my soul, those are the colors I would use.

Boyfriend is out right now going to the Never Summer factory to get a snowboard for the season.  He has been doing an internship there since he came out of the woods from last season's snow.  We are moving up to the mountains on Sunday.  He will be working at the Burton store in the village and I will be working at the coffee shop (Not starbucks!), and in the call center.

Drinking coffee and hot cocoa all day. Well, night.

Snowboarding all day.

I don't actually snowboard yet.  Well I've been like, 5 times.  But always in borrowed equipment and only for one day.  With years in between.  On the east coast, never even in a real jacket.  Haha.

I'll get it though. I've been downhill skateboarding for the past 3 years.  Stoked to fall on snow instead of pavement.

I'm gonna go edit some video from our recent skate trip to California & finish this Cider.
