I only had my 70-300mm with me, so I could not shoot the overview of the place. But this is roughly how it looked

It was a 2-day 2-night trip. We left on the night of 8 Jan, reached the place at 7am on 9 Jan. The moment we reached the place, we changed, rented our equipments and the battle began! It's been close to 8 months since I last snowboarded and I kept falling on my first few runs, like a total beginner. Slowly, I picked up the pace and got back the form I had last season but it didn't last long. Muscles worn out and soon I lost my strength to maneuver the board. All thanks to fatty Singapore food I cooked during new year and the lack of exercise.
After dinner, there was a fireworks display - short one but pretty good. Then I continued with a few night runs. Finally, I decided to end the day after falling at a high speed on my head.
I woke up the next morning with my whole body aching and feeling strengthless. So I decided to give up snowboarding but instead, picked up my camera and went shooting...
