I've gone snowboarding about 30 times since I started learning a few years ago, but every time I'm on a lift, most of the other riders have been out 90 days just this season[1]. In fact, almost everyone I see has been skiing or snowboarding for decades, and comes out almost every day.

It's hard to stay motivated when I'm the worst snowboarder on the mountain.

This might seem like a big coincidence, but I'm also one of the worst runners I know AND one of the worst writers that I'm aware of[2]. I'm even a terrible hiker. Half the people I hike with casually summit 14ers[3] on the weekend while I can barely do an easy 1,600 ft climb[4].
