It’s the best time of the year.
We all want to be in the snow. I mean, it’s glorious. But what if you aren’t feeling as good as you want to be? What if your arms are getting tired? Maybe your balance is off and you look like you’re about to fall? When the snow starts to fall, you get a little more conscious about your footing, and it starts to feel as if there’s a little more gravity.
No doubt, the best time of the year is the fall/snow. There is something about the snow that makes it more manageable, and it is easier to get your balance when youre on the ground. You can see why this is so popular. But there is one problem. When you’re on the ground, the snow is often too deep. You can’t see over the top of that stuff. This doesn’t make it unsafe.
You see, the deep snow is actually where our favorite feature of snowboarding is the “wiggle.” Wiggle means that if you do a perfect wiggle jump you will see exactly what you are doing. If the snow is too deep you cant see what you’re doing, but if you do a perfect wiggle you will see exactly what you are doing. You do the wiggle jump and you see the perfect thing to do it for a split second.
I have to say that this does make a lot of snowboarding look a bit sloppy and a bit dangerous. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do a real snowboarding session and this gif does nothing to change that.
The idea of getting a bit of free snow in your hand is great and all, but the reality is that if your getting a bit too free in your hand, you aren’t getting a bit of free snow. Free snow is a very different thing from a bit of free snow, so a true snowboarder is a professional at not getting a bit of free snow in their hands and it’s a big part of what makes them a pro.
