Watch This Video -- My Big Fat Snowboarding Adventure

The line between tears of laughter and sorrow is very thin. I tested this boundary recently in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, when I took my first snowboarding lesson ever. My initial enthusiasm waned after friends and colleagues repeatedly warned me I could:

  • Break my wrists
  • Bruise my buttocks
  • Never walk again

None of this happened. I never picked up enough speed. But I did pick up some good snowboarding tips. If you’d like to learn a bit and have a laugh at my expense, check out the video below. Happy ‘boarding!

Awesome video Charmian!  

That was nearly the identical experience of my first snowboarding encounter - except of course, you learned how to stop, and you also knew when to quit...in hindsight, with a sore butt and having done more faceplants than i could count, i would've liked to accomplish both of those!

I'm still gearing up for round two...or should i say, still recovering from round one?
