Eden Grace Covaciu turns two next month and is still in that wobbly phase of learning how to walk, but she can already snowboard better than most adults.
Sharon Covaciu, the girl’s mother, says the family has been taking the toddler to the ski slopes in Oregon since she was only six-weeks-old. “She was on a board before she could walk!” Covaciu wrote on YouTube.
The mother explained: “With snowboarding we always want to get on the first run, so we wake up at 5:30 and we get her out of bed. And as soon as we mention snow she’s all excited about it…and knows that she’s going to the mountains.”
Video shows baby Eden dressed in a fluffy pink jacket with gloves and goggles perched on the hat on her forehead, cruising down the hill on her miniature snowboard. In one of the videos, a man is standing behind her to make sure she doesn’t fall, but in another she is all on her own.
“With the new snow load hitting the Cascades, I thought this would be a fun story to share,” Covaciu said. “Every time we take up our 1-year-old snowboarding, everyone just can’t get enough of her.”
The first video shows Eden all on her own:
The second depicts her first time on the slopes that season, according to her mother:

Feb. 27, 2013 at 2:01pmOh my gosh… she’s just adorable! Imagine these parents getting the idea to put their one year old on a snowboard, dressing her, finding a ‘safe’ slope, mounting her on the a correct size board… then watching her do “THIS”! Amazing! They must have been beside themselves with glee! Most kids would just ‘sit’ the instant they started moving. This is just a perfect example of why we love kids…
BTW: Obamacare outright bans ALL ‘dangerous’ snow sports and… wait for it… skateboarding! It’s part of the ‘hidden’ stuff we didn’t know about until the ‘Bill’ was signed into law.
Now imagine you kids returning from the hill where you sent them to sled, after they’ve only been outdoors for a few minutes, explaining that “men with guns told them they couldn’t sled because of new health regulations…
Oh! And what about Football, Basketball, Soccer, Field and Ice Hockey, volleyball………….

Feb. 27, 2013 at 1:58pmLooking at this from our fascist government point of view today, if this child gets so much as skinned knee while doing this, she is most likely going to be confiscated by child protection services and placed in a foster home. Of course, her parents will also be charged with child endangerment, fined, and have to serve some jail time.

Feb. 27, 2013 at 2:14pmCorrect me if I am wrong, but that appears to be a lot of snow… and the little tyke appears to be standing on top of a miniature snowboard.
Please elucidate us with what part of this is not snowboarding…

Feb. 28, 2013 at 6:53pmI thought not falling was the goal. Just like scuba diving the goal is to not die 100 feet down.

Feb. 27, 2013 at 2:16pmAnnnnnd what part of snowboarding is missing from this experience? She is on snow…. and appears to have a miniature snowboard strapped to her feet.
Is there a minimum mph that one must be traveling in order for it to be considered snowboarding? Or is there a minimum declination of the ski slope that is required before it is considered snowboarding? Or is there a minimum size for the board in order for it to be called snowboarding?

Feb. 27, 2013 at 11:03amWhy can’t I read a story that has nothing to do with the crap politics of this increasingly crappy cesspool of a country without having to see the words “OBAMA” or “********” or “OBUMMER” or “DEMS” in it?
This has nothing to do with anything. Unclench your anus and smile. GAWD

Feb. 27, 2013 at 10:09amOkay since when is “turns 2 next month” equal to 1 year old. How about 23 month old or nearly 2 year old. Is the new Obama math? If so, this country is more trouble than first thought. Come on Blaze, lets fix the age. Obviously, the person who wrote this has no kids.

Feb. 27, 2013 at 2:20pmin my book (and most dad’s books) once the kiddo is past the age of 11 months, then their age is measured in years. I hated counting ages in months because it seems silly. That is why we invented years, and decades, and centuries, so that we would’t be referring to today’s date as day 27 of month 24,497AD.
