Exploring nature with a snowboard
“You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.”
― Terence McKinney
Mine was free from work, combined with healthy cooking, cleaning my apartment, making healthy muffins, taking care of myself and of course snowboarding! In the middle of the week nature has given us two big packages of snow and stored it for the weekend with freezing temperatures even though the day. That made the snow just perfect, powdery & compact to shred threw surrounding hills around my village. Today I woke up at 7.30 made some tea, ate two muffins a banana , cleaned the kitchen, got myself dressed, took my snowboard, a bottle of water and went exploring this wonderful winter wonderland. Snow makes even well-known paths look like a new mystery full of surprises. Sparkling snowflakes on the ground and tree's make the forest look like it's out of a fairy tale. At 12 o clock I decided it is time for a tea, make myself a quick lunch to get some energies and continue exploring and see what this wonderful mother nature has to offer.
the temperature was perfect as it was -5 at around 9am and about -1 at 11am.
The speed, cornering ability, and stability on the board is a lot better (never had it serviced before). It feels like controlling it is a lot easier and make me a lot more confident shredding threw unknown powder.
If a jump comes along unexpected, it doesn't end up with a fall and a mouth full of snow.
Last two weekends were amazing to get back in snowboarding shape, to remove the rust of myself and get back into the awesome vibes. Had some great exercises and lot of time spent on my snowboard.
Yesterday was a misty day with poor visibility and very low temperatures, but today was quite the opposite!
Fortunate enough to save some snow for today.
It was a lot of fun, sweat, sliding, combined with a few jumps, beauty of nature & peace that comes with it.
Stopping for a few minutes in the middle of it all I could hear were birds, snow falling high off the tree's and silence.
Snowboarding gives me an exciting reason to go out in the cold and wet in these Winter times, allows me to stay outside in/with nature for a lot longer, helps me clear my mind, fills me with special energy & adrenalin.
What do you do when Winter comes?

Hello @warrkin! What an amazing post! It looks like you had an awesome day. I've always wanted to do snowboarding, but 1) I live in a country where it doesn't snow, and 2) I might be too clumsy for it!
I was wondering... Could I borrow one or two of your photos for a piece of fiction I'll be posting later?? Pretty please haha the theme revolves around snow and it would be cool to feature you.
If you agree, I'll of course give you proper credit and set you as a beneficiary for the post.
Thank you for reading my comment and for sharing your day with us! Your posts are always enjoyable.
Hello there beautiful!
1)We're all clumsy doing it first time, no matter what we do. It's a learning process we all do it weather it's snowboarding, cooking or baking cookies.. I've burn quite a bounch of those in my time.. :)
2)Yes, of course as long as you asked so politely, being the main reason that you don't have snow.
I'm all in for helping each other and making new friends. It has been a while and sharing photos is my first time, guessing I'm the clumsy one now. Ha!
Sending you positive vibes, strenght and great health over to the other side. Rawr! :)
Hi! Well, you make me want to try snowboarding for real. I've always been drawn to it. I'm sure that if I ever come across the opportunity (which I haven't yet) I won't think twice.
So you've burned cookies huh? That's kinda funny. I enjoy baking quite a bit. Haven't burned anything just yet!
I feel honored to be the first to showcase your photography. I'm glad I asked! Sometimes shyness gets the best of me. But sometimes, when it's worth it, I'm brave and I ask haha.
Thank you for saying yes and for such an awesome reply! Sending positive vibes, strength, and great health your way. And some baked goods, too.
