30 before 30 #3 learn to snowboard

We've had the most fantastic holiday. I've spent a week in the beautiful Alps, knee deep in snow. I've drunk scrummy hot chocolate and even scrummier gluhwine.

I've eaten 5 course meals every night and had croissants and pastries for breakfast. I've probably put on a stone in weight.

I've been greeted by this beautiful view every morning from my hotel balcony.

And this one from the slopes.

I am in one piece and I'm proud to say that I can now snowboard. Admittedly I'm not brilliant at it, but I can turn and didn't spend the whole holiday falling over.

Ben spent the week showing off.

And when we weren't snowboarding we could be found with a pint of beer in the ice bar.

We didn't take many photos and I didn't use the video camera. But I figure that's a sign of a great holiday. I'm suffering from the post holiday blues, but it's nice to sleep in my own bed and get back to blogging of course.

Snow time!

Jennifer Morrison

This time next week, this is what I will be doing. That's right, standing still on my snowboard. I can also be found in the following positions - on my arse, on my knees or having a hot chocolate at the bar.

Ben and I are off to Austria on Saturday. We gave snowboarding a go for the first time last year (just realised my new layout has stretched all my photos, oops), and this year I am determined to master turning. I think I've mastered standing up, going in a straight line and drinking gluhwine. Not all at the same time, but perhaps I should try that.

I can't see me having time to blog before we leave so I will say goodbye now. We're taking my new camera and the camcorder so I should have some good photos to share and perhaps even some vlogs to upload!

Here's to no broken limbs!
