Jindabyne, NSW, Australia: Snowboarded

Move over, waterboarding -- there's a new instrument of torture that's all the rage: first-time snowboarding. I mean, I'm a decent natural athlete with a can-do attitude, but my first snowboarding experience was a humbling affair. Maybe because Ash 'reckoned' I should just start at the top of a fairly steep hill and give it a go. Luckily my back-end was well-padded with a week's worth of Aussie meat pies and roadhouse burgers. Snowboarding's no substitute for surfing in my book, but I do dig it enough to want to learn to be one with the mountain. Maybe just not anytime soon. Actually, maybe tomorrow. As I write this, it's 1:30am, and my headcold has become almost comically irrelevant. This trip's just kind of bizarre.
