Snow fireworks

Today was our first day of snowboarding. I was really excited to get out and try it.I have never been on a snowboard before, but I will be fine I think! The only time was when I was 2 and dad carried me down the hill.
We had to walk up to the slopes and rent some gear first- you have to wear lots of clothes (yuck!) And you have to have lots of equipment. You have special boots that click onto the snowboard.
It was snowing pretty heavy but we wanted to go out anyway. We all started together on the small hill- it was pretty hard work! I didn't like having to walk up the hill every time.
I kind of got the hang of it a little bit and dad helped me.
Frog was pretty good and he could go down the hill without falling down. I fell a few times, and so did mum.
It was hard to see with the snow falling so heavy and it was also pretty cold. Everything was so white when we walked home and there was just snow everywhere! I also had an onsen at our hotel which is a big hot bath that you have to share with other people. It's a bit weird because you are supposed to all be nude. It is also really hot. I kept my clothes on and had a quick bath and luckily by myself.
Today is New Years Eve so we all stayed up until midnight. We have made some friends at the hotel so just before midnight we all walked up to the ski fields and they had a little fireworks show. It was so cool! I loved watching it. The last day of the year was awesome, but pretty cold!Leggi altro
