The Snow

Today was a nice day, nice enough for it to warrant a blog! I learnt how to snowboard today...it wasn't easy but I think I was getting it towards the end! Seriously, I'm probably more tired dragging myself up the lift than the actual snowboarding. But it was awesome! I had the stupid idea of wearing jeans to it, without thinking that jeans don't dry very well. So I had a wet ass pretty much the whole day, and the feeling of a shower after I finally reached home at the glorious time of like 10pm (we were there from like 11am) was glorious.

Two amusing moments stand out for me...Actually both could of turned out horrifying but since nothing went bad it was hilarious in hindsight. The first one was when a dad and his daughter was sking...and then the dad lets the daughter go and tries to get her to go down herself. Of course the daughter just gets faster and faster and all you hear from the dad is "TURNNNN, TURRNNNN, NOOOO", because his daughter just REALLY was not turning. Either way that could of turned horrible....but stopped before she got to the bottom somehow, and me and HALF had mean laughs cause we're assholes. The second one was when one of the dudes working was trying to put a pole back into the ground....and this asian girl couldn't stop in a time and completely took the poor dude out. It seriously looked like she killed him. But he was fine, so I laughed inside. So anyway, all in all a good day, and I'm clearly rambling now.

So like...there was a sad moment there. When ducky and I were saying how nice it would be to go snowboarding in the winter, and surfing in the summer. How nice would it be. How nice it really would be. Then I realized I was leaving NZ and I got sad all over again. Sigh.
