When / where did you learn to snowboard ?
In Whistler on our honeymoon . I got married in 2014 and it was my first time going to the snow , but my husband had been snowboarding before . We were going every one to two years until COVID-19 and then stopped , but we have booked to go to Queenstown again this August and we ’ re looking at Whistler next February .
What do you enjoy most about it ?
It was the scariest experience ever as their green runs are so steep , but when I finally got it it was an amazing feeling .
What is your favourite place to snowboard ?
Whistler is my favourite , we have been back once and planning to go again next year . It ' s like living in a snow globe , you can walk to the lifts to go snowboarding and then finish with a mulled wine in the cafes below .
Any tips for beginners ?
Don ' t learn in Whistler . I would learn in Queenstown or Japan where their bigger runs are not as steep . And make sure you get butt-padding shorts as you will fall over a lot !
