Filipino Arrival Learning How To Snowboard #AdventureEngineer

ron adventure engineerRon Maravilla arrived in Whistler from the Philippines 6 months ago and as part of his #AdventureEngineering quest, wanted to learn how to snowboard. Ron had never seen snow and had never been to North America but was not thrown off and set out to learn this cold, winter sport. Ron signed up for some lessons, got some gear and got out there.

I’ve had an awesome time learning to snowboard, I’m on my 4th day and I can now link my turns… not bad for a guy who haven’t seen snow before.” ~ Ron Maravilla
