So from the base they have trips that you can sign up and go on, well last week there was a flyer for a trip to Holland to go snowboarding in an indoor Ski arena. So, me and my friend signed up and it was a blast. This was my first time snowboarding and I had some pretty nasty spills but I was getting the hang of it throughout the end and they had some good beer!!! Well here's some pictures!

Here is the board I got to rent for only 20 bucks!

Snowworld had indoor slopes, a gym, two restaurants, and a hotel! Really nice place!

The smallest hill, which I did a complete face dive into the snow the second time down because some guy cut in front of me!

This was the medium hill, it was good because at the end they had padding at the wall so if you couldn't stop(which I couldn't at first) you just slam into the wall and you were all good.

The two big hills which also had jumps and stuff in the middle. We did this last and my friend collided with some guy, idiot! ;D It's pretty high up, there's a ski lift that takes you to the top.

This beer was from Belgium, it was pretty bitter.

Oh yeah, it was really cold inside there!
Well, that's all I really took from the trip. But, I had a blast and I'm feeling it right now from all the falls I encountered last night. Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!

I didn't know Corona was a European beer. Wade, you love Corona did you know that ?
Chuck, glad your having fun. We're you drinking before or after snowboarding? Knowing you, you had one after each run.
