snow battled wounds

Almost couldn't climb out of bed this morning as my whole body was aching so badly, overly abused by the snow. Dry room with all our equipment. Area for us to prepare for battle.

We decided to explore other areas of the mountain. Higher grounds =)
Look at how steep the ski lifts are. Mind you, this is the BEGINNER slope and we are not even half way up the mountain.
All geared up and ready for battle
I have no problems getting down the slope via heel side and toe side but somehow I'm juz not able to link them together. Trying to make the best after falling on my arse a million times, trying to turn from heel side to toe side. Others make it seem so easy but every time I try to turn, I get sucked back down onto the snow, so much so that attempting to turn = starting all over again. Not the best place to learn as the beginner slopes are still pretty steep. Thankfully the snow is soft and nice so falling doesn't hurt that much. It still depends on the position to break fall.We ended up chilling out (pun intended) at the bottom of the slope, watching and laughing at how people crash and roll down the slopes. My boy thinks that his epic fall qualifies for those sport disaster clips where people watching laugh at their stupidity, tumbling down the slope, board over head, sliding down at least 5m before crashing out.
Foods of the day. S$3.20 sushi plate........... beef bowl, stewed beef shank with miso, S$4 for a plain bowl of Japanese white rice, Chinese tasting yakidori with sesame oil and garlic, modern yaki - delicious noodles on pancake with pork and Japanese sauce

Nithe's favorite part of dinner

Final day of snowboarding tomorrow. Determined to make the best out of it despite the aching pains throughout my body. It's gonna be at least 1 year later before seeing snow again.
