I will tell you about my risks category.  I have loves snowboarding from the time I was 10 years old.  I was a skier from the time I was 3 until I made a great decision to try snowboarding when I was 10.  I picked the sport up quickly. a year later I went out to Colorado to snowboard at Keystone.  My brothers had been snowboarding their entire lives so they showed me the ropes.  The next year I went out to Moonlight Basin in Montana with Sloan Warner who has skied from the time he was a little guy.  We went down blacks for the first day, and the second day he wanted to kick it up a notch.  I was all about it.  We did a double black on the Headwaters called Obsidian.  I absolutely dusted sloan going down Obsidian @sloanwarner.  The day after that we went down an Extreme Terrain trail at Canyons. Ever since then I have been challenging myself to get better, and do crazier lines every time I snowboard.
