I took Ethan and Grant to Wintergreen on Monday for some snowboarding. This was Grant's first trip, and he did really well. He very quickly became comfortable with using his heel edge as a brake, and only wiped out once.
Ethan hadn't been in two years, and it was only his fourth time on a 'board. Nevertheless, his balance has greatly improved since his last visit, I think due to riding a skateboard a bit. He wiped out twice in true helicopter fashion, and had a sore neck the next day because of it. We need to work on his braking :)
Still, my goal was achieved: to have them enjoy snowboarding enough that they want to try it again. Next year we bring Seb!
