I’d Rather be Skydiving


skydiving-extreme-sports-11-2


The last month I’ve been in denial that winter is coming. We’ve had just enough good jumping days to keep me (mildly) satisfied.


But given that I’ve been wearing socks this week – the true indication that summer is over – it’s about time I start preparing myself for some cold weather activities.


Unfortunately, I’m not exactly sure where to begin. Typically, my winters are spent huddled by a space heater somewhere – yeah, I’m a little bit of a freeze baby – and the rest of my free time is spent sweating it out on a yoga mat in a 80+ degree room (something that I intend to continue this year).


Needless to say, I’m seeking out a winter sport to call my own. There are multiple offers on the table to learn how to snowboard, but I wasn’t even that great at skiing when I considered myself a skier so I’m a little leery.

Naturally, I’m looking to stick with adrenaline sports – they just suit me – but I’m at a little bit of a loss.


Don’t get me wrong, I still have every intention of jumping throughout the winter, though likely not with the same frequency as sunny days, no matter how cold, are few and far between from December-March up in these parts. And of course I’m hoping for a tunnel trip and a week spent in a warmer climate, but that’s just not enough to sustain this junkie.


So tell me, what do you do to get your adrenaline fix in the winter time? What is your winter sport of choice?


Blue skies!

    Hey Ashley!

    Nice website you have set up here! I’m currently studying for finals, and thought “I’d rather be skydiving.” This site fits that statement quite well I’d say.

    As for winter sports–snowboarding is a blast. Give it a shot if you haven’t already! Colorado is where I have always gone to ride–great views, tons of fresh pow.

    Best,
