Snowboard Sjoerd

Friday I went for the first time to a skipiste and I tried snowboarden. And I can tell you: IT WAS GREAT!

Together with the Germans: Marie, Thilo, Manuel and Henning (and later some Spanisch people: Miguel, Maria and Joan) we went to Karavec, half hour drive north of Ljubljana. We went with the skilift up and rented 5 snowboards. I can tell u that snowboarding for the first time is really hard afterwards I feel like training rugby for the whole day; it was exhausting. But ok, we went up and Manuel tries to teach me some tactics. Ofcourse I couldn't manage it and I thought this will be nothing for me... So I just went to the top and just tried it and after a will it went better and better... at least I could stand for some minutes.

The morning was clear, but the afternoon was foggy. Marie and I went upstairs and the wind was blowing hard and the snow was sneering along my face. We could only see 2 meters or something. We went down snowboarding, but after a will we decide to walk down. On the end the security came and help us down, because we were the last on the piste. Down we could still ski till the end of the day.

In conclusion I can say that I have to learn a lot more but I like it. In one word: GREAT and I want to do it again soon...
