- Sure thing James!

- I went last (Oz) season, got hooked and will be back again (at a
- differenet mountain) this season. I learned how to do it in basically 6
- days, after slamming so heavily in the first 2 days that on a skate I
- would have been dead after the first two slams. Where I was is called
- Mt. Bulla in Victoria, Australia. Where I will be next season
- is Mt. Hotham, same state and country. Season after that I will be going
- to New Zealand for about two weeks, and get dropped off by a helicopter
- on the side of a mountain and spend the day boarding down it, if all
- goes well. I told you I was hooked!
-
- Snowboarding is just about the best thing I have ever done, period.
-
- For those who have never snowboarded:
-
- Snowboarding is *not* like skateboarding, and un-learning 15 years of
- skateboarding was just one of the many hurdles in learning how to
- snowboard on the first snow experience ever. Turing is much more like
- skiing, so I am told.
-
- I'd better stop now, in case there is a newsgroup elsewhere for this
- kind of thing and the net.police find out about thisa post :-)
-
- All skaters who reach the snow should give it a try. *HIGHLY*
- recommended!
