Let’s see, total I’ve gone snowboarding 5 times, the first was in 1999, the second 2005/6? I think, but I actually didn’t manage to do anything that day cause my boots were way to tight and had to take them off after 20 minutes lol. Then I didn’t go again till this winter. The first trip I fell down, a lot, it’s a lot of work picking yourself off the ground over and over, I was so exhausted from going down the hill 3 times I was done lol The next trip was much easier and I fell down a lot less XD By the 3rd time I managed to go down the hill without falling down at all a couple times. Yay! I’m still afraid to pick up a lot of speed going down a hill, it might have been because when I went the slopes were pretty slick instead of very powdery, so it was way to easy to pick up speed. I guess I just need to do it more to get used to it.

Appi http://www.appi.co.jp/foreign_country/english/index.html is a
really nice resort, they have lots of hills and a really nice lodge. I liked the arcade:D they had several games I had never seen before: a Lupin the Third typing game, a train simulator and a airplane landing simulator. I’ve never seen an arcade version of any of those types of games, very interesting idea.

Here’s 2 pics of my snowboard, unfortuanalty the bindings cover up the cool art ; ;
