I’ll give it a try, but I may end up on skis.” “Between Doug and me, we’ll have you up and boarding in no time,” Jim said confidently. The weather was perfect with the sun reflecting off the white snow and beating down on them as they made it to the chairlift for their first bunny run on their snowboards.
