I went snowboarding for the first time in over 5 years. The last two ski trips we went on, I was pregnant both times. My goal was to just not injure myself but I ended up doing pretty well. I didn't fall at all although I stayed only on the blue trails. It was so much fun and missed it do much - can't wait to take the kids one day!

Oops! Double posted by accident. Got an error the first time so didn't think it went through.

Yay, glad you had fun!
-
@BoogieBea: Deleted the other thread!
Can you wall me and let me know what your error message said?
-
Awesome! I would feel the same way except that I am a skier. I haven't been able to go since I've been pregnant and then had the LO. We'll probably wait until she is about 4 to take her and go together....so still a while. I definitely miss it a lot!
-
DH can't wait until LO gets older so they can go boarding together.
-
@artbee: thanks! Only went for 2 hours but I was already tired after that.
@Andrea: I think some mountains allow kids to start ski school at 3, though I'm guessing it's just a lot of snow playing at that age.
@chopsuey119: We're hoping LO picks it up too. He's a bit of a scaredy cat though. Gets that from mama. I just force myself to do crazy things.
-
I haven't good since pre-pregnancy and was hoping to go snowboarding this season. The one weekend we had planned to go, our babysitter had to cancel. Booo......
-
@BoogieBea: that seems so young! My friends seem to have gone when their kids were 4+ so that is what I thought was appropriate.
-
@BoogieBea: @Andrea: oh wow. I think DH wanted to take her next year! haha. I guess he's gonna have to wait.
I don't know how I feel about my husband and babies boarding.. it makes me nervous!
-
@chopsuey119: that would make me scared! But kids do learn so fast. It is amazing how they will just pick it up. I learned to ski as an adult so I am so jealous.
-
wow. i personally did not go boarding this year because i was pregnant. even though i was getting decent, i fall WAY too much. i really miss it and my board is gathering dust. can't wait to go on trips with my family too! i definitely want my kids to start young!
-
@BoogieBea: I don't board, I ski. Too chicken .....it looks like hard work!
-
@Red: oh I hope you get to go soon.
@Andrea: @chopsuey119: Kids really do pick it up so quickly. Our nieces and nephew all started ski lessons at 3 and they're all probably better than me at skiing than I am at boarding. I think they can only start skiing at a young age. Boarding lessons have a higher age minimum. Not sure if that's changed. Skiing is more technical anyway so I would want my kids to start with that.
@tequiero21: The good news is, it's been 5 years since I last went but didn't notice a decline in my ability (limited as it is) so it's very much like riding a bike. You'll pick up where you left off when you do go again.
@artbee: yeah, I've been doing it on and off for 10 years now and am still maybe a little better than intermediate? I'm naturally a scaredy cat, but just force myself.
-
@BoogieBea: I'm in Florida so I don't get to go a lot. Used to go once a year but haven't been since I met my husband
-
@BoogieBea: b/c of LO's bday, she'll be 3.5 during the snow season so maybe that will be old enough. however, we'll have to get over a fear of snow first. she was so scared of it this winter and would not step on it. so glad i bought her snow boots that she wore once and did not use in the snow.
-
@Andrea: haha, yeah, he's used his snow boots just twice. LO seems to like the snow. DH tried to have fun with him and threw a snowball intended for his legs, missed and hit his face instead. That certainly didn't help the cause.
