Whether you snowboard or ski, spending a day on the mountain is fun. It’s just honest to goodness fun. But that’s not to say that you can’t add a little cinnamon to the mix to make things even better.

Yes, every now and again, life throws up one of those pinch-me moments where everything seems perfect.

But, assuming that hasn’t happened, sit back, relax, and enjoy the misfortune.
