I mentioned to the hubster that I'm a little worried about going snowboarding. I don't know what made me think of it, but I told him I didn't want to die in Utah. I cited Natasha Richardson's skiing accident a few years ago and he said I was going to be fine because I wear a helmet. It's true, I do, but I've only had one nasty fall where my head hit the ground with some force. I only went down the beginner trails the last time I was in Utah. I wasn't really afraid, but I'm a little shaken now. Probably just nerves, but...
I just read this article about a fatal avalanche in Big Cottonwood Canyon which is pretty close to where I'll be at. Obviously I am not a back country snowboarder, but that's still scary. There is nothing to worry about, but sometimes I let my brain get the better of myself.
