Wow - Cant remember when I last went out for a FON sport. Feels like years.
My first ever snowboard session on a proper ski field. Wasnt prepared for
it all. Went out the night before and had a big night in the company of
some nice air hostesses.
With only a few hours sleep. My flatmate drove us up to the Mountain whilst
I was hanging out of the window trynna throw up. I wasnt prepared for my
first session at all. I was really really hungover and I forgot my Jacket,
goggles and beanie. I hadnt even prepared my board so had to take of all
the stickers etc as well.
I was all up for goin on the beginners slopes but Adam was abdamant that I
just went for it and tried out the 1.5k intermediate run from the very top
of the mountain. After a lot of persuasion, I gave in and thought what the
hell.
My first run took me over half an hour to get down the mountain, mostly on
my ass. I was expectin snowboardin to be fairly easy as I rmember havin a
great copule of hours the year before back in Aber when it snowed but it
wasn't, it seemed so much different.
After my first couple fo runs, I was just getting the hang of my heel side
turns but toeside was proving a problem.
At the end of the day, I got a good 7 runs in and I could carry out my left
and right turns in reasonable confidence.
What a great first session though. Absolutely shattered and I could hardly
move any of my limbs. More fo the same tomorrow
