Snoooow !

Boarding !!
(ignore ugly hired clothes please. hahah)
So, recently I went to the snow !
We were mostly at Smiggin Holes but we also went up to Perisher Blue, which I personally didn't like as much because there were a loot more people. Even though the lift was cooler.
It was with a school group and it was amazingly fun. - apart from the parts where I was falling every one meter down the mountain hahaha.

I was one of the three (out of around 46) that chose to do snowboarding. and in those three, I was the only one who hadn't boarded before. ):

Let me tell you this. Snowboarding is a lot harder than it looks. seriously.
If you don't want to get hurt at all, go skiing, it's so much easier (but less fun. hahaha.)
as I said like fifty times when I was there, skiing is easier to pick up but harder to get good at (omg, i hate it when the skis cross) whereas snowboarding is harder to pick up and easier to get good at.

I was actually in so much pain when I got back, I couldn't walk properly or lift my arms. I was also covered in bruises. (I even had one on my cheek, but that was from running headfirst into a glass door and then being unlucky enough to have a snowboard fall on the same place the next day.. Yea.. I know..)
When snowboarding, its so important to learn the S-Bend, seriously, because I couldn't do it, I heel-sided, basically when you dig your heels in and lift your toes, all the way down when wanting to go slow, which put so much pressure onto my thighs. Which hurt. A lot.

Another thing. Practise before getting off the lift !!! Seriously, the most embarrassing thing I did was not falling over 34817289370413 times and making my instructor hate me, falling while on the J-Bar, or running into the glass door, but it was getting off the chairlift and stacking it on the ramp every. single. time.
In my defense, it was steep, and icy. okay.

I promise you, this was on purpose. I swear ! Hahahah, I curled into a ball cause I was so tired, and after I got up my friend told me to do it again so she could take a picture. True story.
    .
Anyway, the three days, only two which we actually spent in the snow were so much fun, but so tiring. After the last run, my legs were literally trembling. hahahah.
Back to school tomorrow. Nooooooooo..
