Sure, it may be out there. To the risk takers, it’s an adrenaline-pumping date that may make their dates swoon. Those who suggest snowboarding first dates may be seen as courageous by potential partners. Snowboarding daters get to enjoy the winter scenery, improve their snowboarding skills and get some critical exercise.
The physical activity involved in snowboarding prevents conditions like clogged arteries, cancer and osteoporosis. Moreover, those wishing to skip their daily workout can burn calories by trying this winter sport. In addition, the fresh air a snowboarding date provides may please city folk, who are accustomed to inhaling toxins. Not to mention, the setting is beautiful: tall evergreens and rolling hills blanketed in milky snow.
The endorphin rush that occurs shortly after snowboarding may allow one to bond with a love interest. Each of a duo may share a “Wow-I-can’t-believe-I-did-that” story and appreciate the other’s positive encouragement while they snowboard. In addition, some may laugh at their own snowboarding errs, causing their partners to chuckle as well. This ripple-effect laughter is not condescending but out of mere contagion of the former’s giggling. Furthermore, this “I-have-to-laugh-because-you’re-laughing” humour can make a date more enjoyable.
Snowboards tend to cost between $99 and $600 but can be rented at ski resorts for $25-$40. Snowboarding admission is typically $45-$60, depending on the time spent on the slopes. No, this is not a cheap date. But occasionally, it is worthwhile to splurge on a fun activity. And of course, some may just make memories snowboarding that will cause them to overlook the price.
Some snowboarding resorts in Toronto include:
• Blue Mountain
• Chicopee
• Dagmar
• Devil’s Elbow
• Hockley Valley
Of course, not everyone has snowboarding experience. Lucky for rookie snowboarders, each snowboarding resort has snowboarding instructors. Moreover, one can begin by skiing down bunny hills, which are small hills intended for those inexperienced in Winter sports. Then, he or she may move on to the greater challenge: snowboarding.
Snowboarding may make the ultimately memorable first date. Not only is it out of the ordinary, it is also thrilling. In addition, it allows daters to exercise. Moreover, it allows pairs to get fresh air. Furthermore, it is easy to learn. One who wishes to impress a love interest may need only to say: “Let’s go snowboarding!”
