Sliding on the snow with a board
3rd of April was a challenging day for me. Yea, I went to snowboarding @ Mount Hood with my Taiwan colleague. In fact, it was his wife that suggested to go there skiing, because she forgot how to ski after 3 years didn’t ski. Before the winter is over @ Mount Hood, she persuaded me to join them as well for a 3 times basic course. She took the ski course, but I took the snowboard course indeed. I felt snowboarding is more cool. 😛
四月三日，對我來說，是個很挑戰性的日子，因為我今天去了滑雪！我那台灣的同事興致勃勃地叫我跟他們一起去滑雪，原因是他老婆很久沒滑雪了，想要乘冬天的雪結束之前，重新學會滑雪。我也答應了，畢竟沒試過，就試試看咯。我們就一起報名參加了三次性的初級訓練班。不過，我沒有選擇雙板滑雪，而是選擇了單板滑雪，因為感覺單板滑雪看起來比較酷。:P
Well, as a beginner, I expected it’ll be tough for me, and it was. Fell down, slipped, countlessly. But eventually I started to know how to control the balancing and not to fell easily. Now I can snowboarding down the ‘buttercup’ (the name for the first level snow trail for beginner) without falling down at all. 😉 Need to work more on maneuvers and turning. Anyway, snowboarding is really fun and exciting. Love it, though it is very exhausting, and pains all over the body after woke up on the next day. >.< Stay tune for my next experience on snowboarding. 😉
對於一個初學者來說，我早就已經預料會很有挑戰性。結果我摔倒、撲倒、滑倒的次數真的不計其數。不過也因為這樣，我也漸漸的學會了如何調節站在滑板上的平衡。現在從山上滑下來已經能夠“安全抵達”，不會滑倒了，嘻嘻。至於滑板的方向操控和轉折還有待改進，相信接下來的兩次應該足夠讓自己學會吧。:P 其實，單板滑雪真的很好玩，也很刺激，雖然很累，而且第二天起來後還會全身酸痛，但是還是會繼續去享受，畢竟這樣的運動在熱帶國家的我們是無法再享受的。

haha, maybe you’re right, it’s considered a “high risk” sport. You’re too ‘fragile’ for it. Even me also pain here and there after every snowboarding. >.<
