i'm probably not a good enough snowboarder to make the whole way down without walking but i'll give it ago while i'm there! i had a lesson at Castleford last week and i'm feeling a lot more confident now, to the point where i'm getting excited to try out my new found skills when i get to Bansko when i wasn't looking forward to it so much before!!
A great way to finish the day is true - a little flat at the end depending upon snow conditions.
I was there a couple of weeks back and it took about 12 minutes from the top of the gondela to the bottom - now I wasn't hammering it at all, just wasn't going slowly either - the slow, slushy snow towards the bottom was the only reason it took that long.
well hopefully now i've got over my "wobbly leg syndrome" when my board points downhill i should be able to give it a go and make it as far as possible!! if not i'm sure it'll be a nice scenic walk haha!
