Ski Trip to France

Now by "Ski Trip" I really mean "Snowboarding Trip", but that is a mouthful so I'm sticking with "Ski Trip". Anyways... Ricky and I were able to go to France to go snowboarding for about 2 hours at an indoor ski slope there. We went with outdoor rec. so transportation and lift tickets were included. Board  rental was also included but there was some complications... so we just went to the other outdoor rec. (that's right there's 2 of them here) and rented boards for the entire season. It was a lot of fun. I have gone boarding since high school, and Ricky's only been once before. So the nice gentle slope was a good refresher for me, and a good place to learn for Ricky. He really improved and by the end was even starting to make full turns. 
I have to say that my favorite part was showing my skills off. Ricky had never seen me board and so seeing all my mad boarding skills really impressed him.

The smaller of the two hills, and if you look very closely that little dark speck at the top is Ricky working his way down.
We both loved this trip and couldn't wait to go boarding again soon!
