Mr Leeder look away now

Last year we went skiing and after much umming and ahhing (great NI phrase for you all) I decided to ski instead of snowboard. This was mainly down to my good friend Matt Leeder who really wanted me to ski. I had a great week learning and really enjoyed the experience of skiing......but something was missing.

My ski mentor and all round great guy Roland Spencer told me halfway through the week that he thought I should give boarding a go. He couldn't explain why but he felt I should try it.

Anyway I put the thought to one side and assumed I would be back on the slopes this year on skis but now things have changed.

I really want to try snowboarding!!

So I've asked Christina to buy me a day pass at the snow dome in Milton Keynes for Christmas to give it a go (well.....8 hours) to see how I feel about it and get ready for April in Les gets.

Only time will tell but whatever happens ski or board I will be proudly wearing this bad boy
