Snowboarding

I have taken it upon myself to learn to snowboard. Seeing that I live in the area of the most snowfall in all of Japan I figure I have no excuse but to learn. I really am not much of a boarder, and even at the end of the season I have yet to get off the lift successfully~I mean people I can barely walk, getting off a lift with something strapped to my feet trying to glide around- now that is a stretch

My friends and I got passes that way we had no excuse but to learn (but honestly, this was before I realized how busy I was going to be most of the winter- between visitors and weekend escapes and meetings and the occassional bad weather- it was difficult to find time to really hit the slopes)
