I was Number 2
in the world on a snowboarding game, so how could I be so bad at it in real
life?! Turns out it’s a lot easier in the virtual wolrd :-(
I’ve recently
just returned from Pamporovo, Bulgaria for my second trip there. I skied for
the first time there last year. I had lessons for a week but it was
snowboarding I took to straight away. I did a two hour snowboard taster and
loved it, so I switched to that this year.
I took
beginners snowboarding lessons and boy did I need them! I thought I was quite
good at snowboarding after my two hour taster the year before, but turns out I
was wrong about that too! I have never fallen so much in my life than I did on
my first day of lessons. Good job there was lots of snow to cushion my falls!
It took my four
days just to master how to turn, but once I had that I could start going
on the runs. I was very close to giving up on day 3, but glad I persevered. By the end
of the week I went on green, blue and red runs so was really pleased. I was
also really glad I was able to go down some runs with my fiance Kyle, who skis (boo,
hiss!). Although I don’t think he was too pleased as he spent more time waiting
for me to get back up from my falls or push me down the slope when it wasn’t
steep enough than he did actually skiing.
I really
considered doing some black runs and some jumps on the last day, but I think it
was a wise decision not to and come back with fully functioning limbs!
Anyway, despite
the slow start I had an amazing week and will definitely be sticking to
snowboarding!
The snow went up to my knees
A little difficult to see where you were going..

The sun finally made an appearance
Proof I wasn't on the floor the whole time
