The Powder Pooches teaching me

What an epic week I have just had. It has been the best week of my entire holidays. Snowboarding is so difficult and at the start of the week I couldn't even go a metre without falling and by the end I was on the hardest runs doing big tricks. If someone told me at the start of Hakuba I would be doing this, I would have thought they were joking.
My week Snowboarding was made even better by having a mate called Ronnie to board with every day.
There was also a group of young blokes that dad and mum talked to that I got to know really well. I ended up playing a couple of games of shithead cards with them and ended up cleaning them out for over $160. My first game I had to buy in with a couple of kitkats.
After the card game we were mates and they took me up to the top of the mountain where all of the hard runs are. We went on a tree run which is pretty much off the trail with 60cm of snow at least everywhere. It was super fun but pretty scary. If you fall into an airpocket it is really hard to get out.
I loved having the pros teach me- they call themselves the 'Powder Pooches' because they are not quite hard enough to be the powder hounds! 😆
Hanging out with the lads was awesome.
I also mastered doing jumps and tricks in the air. I can do a 180 mid-air, monos and rail grab.
I am going to miss snowboarding so much. It is the funnest thing I have ever done. I would love to be able to come back to Hakuba.Read more
