Skiing and Snowboarding the Days Away
Topic: Updates|
Last week we went to Snowbowl in Flagstaff to ski and snowboard. I have skied for years until I damaged my ACL in a hockey game about eight years ago. Now I find that skiing is too hard on my knee and have moved on to snowboarding. This was (I think) my 4th time to go. I have taken one lesson and the rest has all been on my own learning.
I am a bit suborn and like to do things on my own. I hate feeling like I am keeping others from doing something they want to do. So I as I am learning to snowboard I end up spending the day by myself (except for lunch). This gives me time to sit on my arse and watch others who are snowboarding (better than I) and learn from them. Once I watch then I try it for myself! I am getting much better each time. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed myself and felt like I made progress!
How do you learn better? Watching others, reading, listening, or just flat out doing? Or is it a combination?

To me, it is a combination, but I do learn much faster when I can go ahead and do it. Going thru a lot on my life right now where those combined are beign just huge and assential, I can’t just go and try, needing to do slow and planned steps. Learning to follow a different kind of bureocracy can be just so stressing!
