Last month my girlfriend and I went to Austria and tried snowboarding. We
had both skied before, but snowboarding was a completely new sport for us.
We had booked some lessons before we arrived, and on the first morning we
hired our helmets, boots and boards. We were both feeling quite nervous, but very excited as we took the lift up the mountain. The first lesson was really challenging and we fell over A LOT! By the end of the first day, we were exhausted. The following morning, our legs were aching, but we did not give up. After three days of lessons, we felt more confident and were really starting to enjoy ourselves.
On the fourth day, we tried a more difficult slope and I'm proud to say I got all the way to the bottom without falling over. By the end of the week, we had both fallen in love with snowboarding and we did not want to go home.
