So you’re thinking of going snowboarding with your girlfriend/boyfriend. On the surface, this seems like the best idea in the world. Romantic nights in a cosy chalet with log fire. Riding together side by side. Play-fighting in the snow…

In reality, you’re more likely to be arguing about which one of you is being a total arse, mong around in sweaty thermals (the most unsexy underwear in the world), spend half the week completely shattered, get drunk, argue and come home knowing waaay more about the other person than you ever wanted to know.

The problems lie when one is better than the other. Or never even stepped on snow before. Let’s just say this will either make or break you as a couple

If you’re both a pretty similar standard before you go, you’ll be laughing. The problem lies when one person is better at riding than the other. Or worse still when one has never even stepped on snow before. Let’s just say this will either make or break you as a couple.
