To Snowboard or not to snowboard?

Logical conclusions after the ski-trip:
* If you dont know how to snowboard, say it CLEARLY!
* If you are a beginner you have two choices:
speed up => Having a huge crash
ride slow all the time => Having sore feets all the time
* Bottom Line: I lost one pants, one of the lenses of my glasses and my gloves. By the end of second day I couldn't find any muscles in my body which wasn't acking.
I liked snowboarding a lot! It is hell of fun. I think, it is one of the nice mixtures of speed, style and danger.
