By William KaplerLast month, my friend and I went snowboarding for the first time. There are quite a few options around New York to learn how to snowboard, but we picked Cypress Mountain 27.  it is quite cheap there compared to other places. The next thing we needed to do was to decide 28. type of lesson we wanted: a few hours, half a day, full day, or a full weekend. We booked a full weekend because we wanted to be comfortable with our snowboard after our lessons. But we couldn’t predict how stiff we were 29.  to be after 1 full day of falling, and had to cancel our second day.
We started to drive to Cypress Mountain 30. five in the morning. As we gradually got to the top, traffic was really bad. We finally arrived after three hours of being on the road. Even though everything was booked online, we still had to queue, and it 31.  us over an hour to finally get to the front of the line. It was chaos at the desk where we had to sign up.
There was only one positive thing about this day and it was the enthusiasm of our instructor. She loves her job, and even when I was about to cry out of fear, she was able to motivate 32.  to get back onto my feet.
