Colorado: Day 5

Day 5

The last day of Snowboarding has come. We headed out and got to the hill at around 10:30. We hit some great runs and talked about how much I have learned on this trip about snowboarding. JW is really happy to see that my style and technique has greatly improved. It was his teaching that helped me improve. Corey even complimented the fact that I was moving so much faster today than on Tuesday when he first saw me snowboarding.

We ended the day with JW's friends Shane, his girlfriend Sarah, and her son Jeremy. JW taught Jeremy to snowboard in Stratton (Vermont). And in the "small world" set of events, the three of them have moved out to Colorado. Jeremy is only 7 years old. But he already has the skills of a great snowboarder. He is moving fast and taking jumps. He also already has a sponsor, which at his age is amazing. If he keeps his path right, he could be the next big thing in United States Snowboarding.

JW and I left Copper Mountain area and JW's house around 5:30. It was great. We reflected back on the week and other items that were coming up. We hope that we can see each other at least once a year. Snowboarding would be one of the big options, but we know there are other things to do. One of them is to get JW to see Grandma.

I had a really great time seeing my cousin, and he was definitely happy to see me.
