What is snowboarding to me?

I believe that snowboarding is not only a sport, but it is also a lifestyle.  Every time I get into a car with my equipment, get couple of friends to go with, and finally leave for the mountains, it is a new adventure. Each trip is very unique, there is always something amazing going on.

It'd be a lie if I said that I like snowboarding simply for the joy of riding. There is much more to it. It's about the moments. Throwing snowballs with my friends while strapping on to a snowboard, helping out each other and little mischievous acts make snowboarding a great experience. 

What I love the most about this activity is progression. In order to get better I need to push my limits and discover a new ways to approach certain features on the mountain. Progressing along with my friends strengthens our bond and encourages us to ride more. After all, the better we get, the more we enjoy it.

At last, snowboarding isn't only about riding, it's about experiencing the unique journey, each time we get to the mountains.

Keep on shredding.
