First day Snowboarding in Turkey!

We're in Turkey again for the next 13 days going snowboarding on Mt Erciyes! Yesterday was our first day on the slopes and it was so fun! Everything came back so fast I feel like I got as good as I was in New Zealand after like 2 minutes. We spent most of the day making our own trails off the groomed slopes because the snow was so powdery there. I was able to stick my arm all the way into the snow and still not touch the bottom. We were both a little bit surprised how much harder it is to snowboard on powder, it feels like you're floating but it's so easy to bog down and catch a rail. Such a fun day but were so exhausted now.

The mountain is so cheap, they don't charge by day but by how many times you use the lifts, we got 30 lift passes for $40 and only used 7 yesterday so it was like $10 for a full day of snowboarding!!!

Also there's there's an amazing Turkish breakfast place right next to our apartment. We were so full after that spread!Read more
