Oh dear! These should make Warren feel better about his punters gap. big surprise

The first photo is from the first time I ever went to the snow, in 1997 or 1998. My mum decided to take us on a weekend skiing trip to Thredbo. I’d never seen snow before and I honestly didn’t even know what snowboarding was. I was super annoyed we were going to the snow instead of up the coast to somewhere I could go surfing. Needless to say I got hooked the moment I stepped onto the snow. When I saw people snowboarding I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I was obsessed with snowboarding from that moment and I had to wait a full year before I even got to try it.

The next two photos are from the following season. This was the first time I got to try snowboarding. I think I was 16 years old. Upgraded my jacket, pants, and beanie. The first of many snowboarding related purchases.

Michelle finally made me give that beanie away last year!  LOL

I actually remember using clip-in bindings with no highbacks the first time I went snowboarding.
