My 1st snowboarding experience!! (8 Dec 07)

i always thought its so cool snowboarding!

hohoho!! my 3rd wish of the year had been fulfilled!!! That is to learn how to snowboard......

On 8 Dec, we made our trip to the Ski Resort... Trying our very best to minimise our cost, Junwoo reserved the free shuttle bus and ski lift coupon so we can have further discounts... So thankful to him!

its always stylish to carry the snowboard!!

On the very morning, we woke up early and make our way to Kangnam station where the shuttlebus picked us up. Made about 1 hr plus journey, we finally reached the ski resort! We were all excited, went in to the ski rental shop, got our ski clothes, snowboard and boots....... hahah had a hard time wearing the BIG boots......

whoosh... me on the snowboard!

Finally, we were all geared up and ready for our 1st snowboarding experience! Went over to the entrance. There were already a long queue of skiers waiting to get their ski-lift coupons. As we were carrying the snowboards, Junwoo queued up and ushered for me n Tiff to wait....

Models for snowboard....

After a long wait..... WE finally make our way up the escalator to the slope!!!So excited to see the WHITE snow SLOPE!!! Everybody were already geared up and people were already having great fun sliding down either on skis or snowboards...... So we did our warming ups and proceeded to the ski-lift....

we up on the slope

Junwoo brought us to the 2nd slope to take the ski-lift... I was totally terrified! It was my 1st time on the snowboard, I dun even know how to stand nor fall and yet he brought me up the slope!!!!! He kept telling us, this is the way to learn... you have to get down from the slope.... So on the slope (nt so gentle) we learnt how to get up on the snowboard... GOSH its so EXTREMELY difficult!!! The moment I tired to get up, my board slide further down......


Basically I was just screaming and yelling my head off.... So me and tiff went on learning how to get up and slide a little while I told Junwoo to go ahead to snowboard... hehehe... So the morning half went pass quickly.... I just did a slide down on that VERY slope... can u imagine tat?! ok... truely speaking i walked down half way hehee.... cos I cant control my direction. Tiff was mastering better while I having difficulties to even brake?!!

So half time.... We went for our lunch.... were chatting and so.... Afterwhich, I said I cant go to the 2nd slope so we went to the 1st slope where beginners were... Tried my best to learnt it, get up... fall, get up... fall.... Tiring but it all paid off when I finally master to get up, slide down at the speed I want, brake, fall correctly.... IT was really addictive, after knowing the basics... I slide down and went up again and again... Its really FUn...

So after awhile, Junwoo came back from the expert slope and checked on us... Tiff was too tired so she was resting on the slope while I go up and down the slope. Hahah trying to make full use of my money paid!!! hahaha.... So having master the basics, Junwoo taught me how to slide from side to side... haha basically to learn how to siam ppl on the slope..... Tiff caught us on the camera while waiting for us... You can see how stupid i was on the snowboard.... hahaha...

Times really flies when I am having fun... Soon its 5pm, we have to leave the ski resort.... Sad but I am really satisfied to at least be able to slide on my own for mayb 2-3 times down the slope without falling! YEAH!! a mission accomplished... At least my money well-spent!
