Sacré bleu!
Remember the scene in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, where Napoleon first experiences water slides? Such was my joy yesterday, after my first snowboard lesson. I'm tired and my entire left side's sore (now knowing what exactly is meant by "catching an edge"), but it was brilliant. I only wish I had thought of trying it out sooner this winter. Oddly, everyone had been telling me how much steeper the learning curve for snowboarding is compared to skiing, but I found yesterday much easier than the one time I tried the latter.
