Boarding + Skiing Frenzie

HOLY CRAP, OMG WTF LOL BBQ! ITZ AWESUMZ!

Ok, I guess I have to calm down a little bit (just a tiny bit) but LYKE I WENT SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING! It was so goooood, (fell a lot but totally worth it.)

So how this happened was that we're lucky enough that CMU has a snowboarding and skiing club
which organized this trip for JUST $15 (includes bus there, packed lunch, AND SKII and BOARD RENTAL) It's sooooo cheap! And since the tickets are so cheap it sells out within 10-20 minutes of the start of the sale, SO I have to thank Andy, Hui Ting, and Kevin (the brave souls) who braved the trail and lined up for it for me when I couldn't go (forgot).

That's how I got such a great deal for this trip! AND The best part is that we got there around 11:30. Started around 12:00 noon, and ended at 7:00pm SO it was SHERE 7 HOURS of Snowboarding and Skiing for the people who went!

Since this is the first time I ski or snowboard I chose to snowboard cuz I wanna kill myself (wad... it just looks cooler....... :P ) So I thank all my friends for all the best wishes and kind farewells before we started... I'm sure I'll miss you guys too if I ram my head into a tree or a cable car pole.

Anyways, snowboarding is really tiring and hard on me (butt and face) cuz I fall a lot and the only way to fall on the snowboard is the front... and the back... no side cushions for me. I manage to learn to stop and go quite well, the only part is turning.... always trips me.

I stayed with the board for about 5.5 hours of the trip, super fun. This was until my thigh started cramping... (it's just super tiring on the thigh.) So I complained to Mr. Choi AND since he wanted to try out boarding as well and his shoe happen to be my size, we swap equipment! So I got to try out skis for 1.5 hours!

Now I actually love skiing cuz I actually fall 1/10 of the amount as I do on the snowboard and it's like ice skating, I got the hang of it quite fast :D very very fun. I think next time I will just ski, spend less time on the ground, bwahahahaha. THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE-TIME (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

I'll definitely go again next week (the last time they're going to do it this year.) So I'm gonna get ready to queue up for the tickets this time!

I'll update with photos later as it's on Mr. Choi's camera :D

This got me thinking of my list of things to do before I die.... and I have a few things checked:

1. Visit the Taj Mahal
2. Ride camels into the dessert
3. Learn to Ski
4. Learn to Snowboard
5. Learn to Ice Skate
6. Learn to Roller Blade

There are probably more, but can't recall right not haha. I should work on this list a bit more :P
