This is my first time after many years to see the snow again since England. I was pretty content about returning to a country with the kind of weather I had missed. This was also my first time ever to snowboard, and although I had fallen down here and there on the first day, I’d like to believe that after the falls, I had gotten better. Snowboarding, itself, to me was exhilarating, a passion of sliding and turning through the slopes had been formed, but to what extent it lasts, only time will tell.
