When it's cold and snows, all I can do is pet her on the back, move by a couple of inches so that tires don't develop a flat spot, maybe once in a while open garage door and fire her up for a few minutes - just to exercise the gaskets (LOL), and get that feeling, you know.
I've been skiing (downhill) since I was a kid, but some years ago got really bored, and decided to learn to snowboard. I am a slow learner. Combined with rare outings to the mountains, it took me a few years to get past beginner level, and start to really enjoying snowboarding.
I recently realized that I am doing a lot of things wrong, and want to fix them, as well as to learn riding in both directions (switch), and after that learn some simple buttering tricks...
I find snowboarding to have so many similarities to riding a bike!

- Single track vehicle.
- Counter steering to activate a turn, then just staying there until next turn, and without any steering input.
- Your legs are your suspension, especially if it gets bumpy.
- Body position plays significant role, even more so when riding a bike.
- And the most important thing: primal feeling of freedom of movement; experiencing 3-dimensional space.
- Almost forgot: you don't have to be a pro to slide your rear all day long, LOL.
