I should have some funny photos lying around somewhere. Going to look now…
Post photos from your first time at the snow!
first time 2 seasons ago
haha, I’ll have some good ones at home. First time at snow as a kid. And then first time back at snow when 19 and starting boarding
Oh dear! These should make Warren feel better about his punters gap.
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!
Here is mine.
2007
Sunnies and a Beanie, riding dodgey Rhythm Snowboards
Obv im on the right.
So blue steel rider!!! hahahahaha
The first time I went to the snow was with my Primary school but the photos were lost :-(
I will dig up any photos I do have of the next time after that!
The first time I went was 1997. The next time I went was 2006. Both times to Thredbo.
I tried snowboarding for the first time the next year.
I actually remember using clip-in bindings with no highbacks the first time I went snowboarding.
Lift pass around the neck there Blizz… I thought that would just make you look like a punter or something?
I guess you still look better than Warren and his GAP!
