My predominant prayer while snowboarding in Utah was for safety! Parker and I have only been snowboarding twice so we aren’t ready for the X games quite yet. We definitely had our fair share of wipe outs, but one of them really scared me.

On one of the blue runs, Parker went off the edge and it was about a 45 degree angle down the side of the mountain into tons of powder. He literally disappeared. I kept calling his name, but he didn’t answer so I was afraid he hit a tree. I finally made it over there and God answered our prayer for safety. He was buried chest deep in snow and surrounded by three little saplings that caught him.

I couldn’t resist taking a shot with my phone camera.
