Back from oure Snowboard holliday in Briancon (fr)

We went on a snowboarding holiday from Friday 23 of February until Sunday the 4th of March. We went to Briancon (France). We went there by bus with an organisation for young people (Husk). People in the bus where addressing us as sir ore madam that was a bit strange but you are the age that you feel like (Dutch saying). I slept very well on the bus ride that took us 18 hours to get to Briancon France. The first day we arrived we took it slowly and went to bed early. The next day it was the big premier for me.

It was the first time for me on a snowboard. I had some lessons before but the conditions where totally different than at the indoor snowcenter.
I went downhill falling down every 2 minutes. Then when I finally arrived at the lift, I fell out 7!!!! times (my god it was embarrassing). The next day the lessons begun. I started in class 1 to be sure not to hurt myself to much.
As time progressed I could do more on my snowboard. I had a lot off fun going down the mountains with matthijs and my snowboard class in the next days. Matthijs is very good at snowboarding so he started in class 3. He learned some tricks on his board.
At the end we where able to make a long ride though the area (260 km).

We where very lucky with the weather. As we arrived by bus we hardly saw any snow on the low slopes. That evening it snowed a lot so the conditions where perfect. I even got some colour on my face (except where my snow glasses where)

We also took it slow. We both took a good reading book with us, the MP3player with al my music on there and we had found a sauna in the village.

All in all we had a great time.
I would definitely go back to Briancon and I could recommend it to everyone if you want to have a good winter Holliday.

Hoogtepunten in het nederlands:

• We zijn net terug van wintersport in Briancon (fr) van 23 februari tot 4 maart.
• We waren de oudste in de bus en mensen spraken ons aan met mevrouw en meneer???
  
• Ik ben voor het eerst gaan snowboarden
• Ik ben de eerste dag 7 keer uit de lift gevallen (schaamde me rot)
• Later konden we samen tochten maken
• We hebben heerlijk weer gehad soms sneeuw en vaak zon (lekker bruin geworden)
• We hebben ook genoeg rustig aan gedaan. We hadden beide een goed boek mee en bezochten regelmatig de sauna in het dorp.
• Ik zou er zeker nog een keer terug willen gaan
