Snowboarding.

One of the many things I wanted to do when I came here, was take advantage of the amount of snow that falls here, before I left everyone was telling me to learn how to snowboard. So on Friday for just the second time, I was taken snowboarding; this time at Bromont, just south of Montreal for some night riding.

Even though it took me quite a while to get down one of the slopes (thanks to Jez for helping btw), I really felt like I was getting the hang of it. Woke up the next morning and the pain in my arms and legs said that I was at least using the right muscles. This was a strange one as the snow was melting due to the 'spring like' weather, so the snow was quite slushy. But I have to say that with a lot of help from Nick and Jez, I really enjoyed this and is something that I am definately going to pursue. Apparently I did pretty well... Especially for someone so clumsy.
