Our first snowboarding trip finally happened!!
Switzerland didn't have much snow for a long time...well still doesn't have a lot but yeah...but a few weeks ago there was a bit in the mountains so we decided to go. There was 6 of us who went on this trip and it was a lot of fun!
Matt and I ready to go!
First of all I guess you all need to know some of the details........
Brian is a snowboarder and is good. I on the other hand have tried it a couple times years ago. Therefore am not that good. But there was a HUGE SALE on snowboarding equipment here so we bought all the gear that I would need and some new stuff for Brian. So now I am determined to learn and get good while I'm here....or at least get ahead start here. And Brian has volunteered to teach me! YAY!

On January 13th & 14th we went to Disentis (a town and ski hill here in Switzerland), with a few of our friends here, for my first attempt!
We went with Pat, Mike, Brandon, Paul, and Matt. We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Disentis, which was super nice and definitely worth the price, so we could get in 2 days of snowboarding! On the second day our friends Taryn and Tom also joined us. We even got a Suisse fondue meal for supper made by the cook there; that was sweet!
Let me just say it was an amazing weekend for me! I really enjoyed snowboarding and am starting to pick it up pretty fast. Of course there were many of negative moments and a lot of falls but I was still having fun whether Brian thought so or not! Brian had a good weekend too; I'm sure he would have enjoyed it way more just snowboarding down the hill with the other guys that are good but he was very patient with me. He said that he would rather stay with me now at the beginning so I can learn faster and then eventually I'll be joining him as well and he would rather that! So that worked for me. I was and still am very thankful he is helping me and sticking with me because he doesn't have to at all; so I am happy about it for sure!
The snow that weekend wasn't the best but the first day it was pretty good at least. The second day it was starting to melt quite a bit. It was either icy or slush after lunch, but oh well. Other than that it was a beautiful, sunny day....probably even too hot and the scenery and view was so amazing that is was worth it just to see the area! The mountains and valleys were just gorgeous!
I can't even tell you how stoked I am for our next snowboarding trip!
