I am glad I had the chance to go to Utah for a sports vision conference. After having learned about my hidden eye turn, and concussion, I still want to snowboard, and to help others. 因为, 生命在于折腾! I couldn't say no to snowboarding in Utah, and the learning too. Who knows who I can help next to improve their dance, gymnastic, hockey or soccer performance, aside from fixing crossed eyes.
So I packed my snowboarding gear with me as well. I still have only the carry on, aside from the snowboard gear. You can see how I packed so light in the video. I am so glad that I made the decision to come. I got to snowboard at Park City. It was pretty darn good views. Good note is to bring a charger when go uphill, the search for signal can drain your battery real fast.
The snow conditions was great, lots of runs and powder all the way. On day one of the course, I was told by one of the lecturers that having both eye dominance is better than one eye dominance. So although I was used to using heels and my left side forward, I tried using both sides. It was hard to switch to the right leg, but it got easier after the first run. I got on the black runs, but it's wider than those in Tremblant and Courmayeur , so it was safe to experiment. It was harder to switch to toe and right at the same time though. I still have my down time, trying to knee myself away from the edge of the cliff when I was too far to the right in kicking off. As the courses go from 1-8pm, I had the chance to swim the next morning. There was a crater across from our hotel, with warm water all year round. So why not? For those who has more time, they do snorkling and diving programs too. Park City is a bit of a town in itself. Nice shops around. I didn't have time to shop, but did try out one of the restaurants. It's better to eat meat there than seafood there, I should say. Check out my video! To do in Utah Snowboard in winter, hike in summer
