Since I still need more practice on the snowboard, I think it’s a waste of money to take me to the nice ski resorts with the chair lifts. The alternative, then, is to explore the smaller lower capacity slopes that are scattered about our region. The lift tickets for these runs are around half the price of resort tickets, which is why you're likely to find only one or two slopes. Plus, the lifts are usually of the less expensive T-bar variety. Not to worry! Now that I have spent the day conquering the T-bar lift (that is I stayed on all the way to the top and never once fell off), it won’t be such a problem for me to frequent more of the lower capacity slopes and consequently work on my “skills” a little (a lot) more. As for how I will eliminate the crotch bruising, I plan to wear Isaiah’s bike shorts, with a padded crotch, under my snow pants.
Today’s lift (the metal contraption that is barely visible in the right hand side of the photo above) is located in 9108 Gonten (Appenzell).
