Ritual reflection

I remember when my first snow boarding trip happened. Ever since then I would to go at least on one trip to a ski resort. Then on before my first time going down on the slope, I would clap my hands together and repeat to myself "s lines going down" in order to remember how I would go down the slope. After the first day I have a cup of hot chocolate to commemorate my survival of the first slope of that year. I've been doing this for the 4 past years I went to a ski resort/trip. This is how I commemorate my first snowboarding survival.
