How difficult can it be to just shift weight from one foot/ski to another? I’ve never been a coordinated person… I hate to say it but I might have to give up sports. The simplest concepts just seem beyond me. A full Yabuli report is coming soon.
UPDATE: We’ve now explored another resort and I think I might have prematurely thrown in the towel… I’ve decided to give snow sports another chance tomorrow.

I'm an American expat living on the fringe of Chinese society. Thanks to a lifetime spent moving around, I often feel like an outsider. This blog explores life in Beijing, China, the occasional aviation topic, expat issues, random travel experiences and interesting things I see, read and hear. If you want to know more about my latest hobby, visit Sewing on the Fringe, where I blog about learning to sew in Beijing. And for daily documentation of Beijing's ever changing air quality, visit My Beijing Window. And, yes, I do wear my santa hat year-round. ;)

You can do it!!! Just to make matters worse the kids and I discovered a bunch of very easy runs at Copper yesterday. Live and learn. Miss you!
Just call me Bobby Bouchet (sp?) cuz I’ve decided not to give up. I am seriously considering switching back to skis, however. Although I acted like a spastic idiot, I did feel a tad more comfortable on them then the snowboard. I guess all those years skiing as a kid did have some sort of lasting impact after all. Count Ivan and I in for a stay at Copper/Winter Park next Winter!!
