Leona lewis learns to snowboard in Ischgl Austria

After a concert performing infront of 20,000 people for the opening of Ischgl in Austria, Leona took the opportunity to take some snowboarding lessons. She liked it so much she stayed for a couple of days and apparently got on pretty well and reckons she loves it.

 'I thought the mountain scenery, covered in snow, was just stunning,' said 23-year-old Leona. 'I've never seen anything so beautiful – so much so that I asked if I could stay on in Ischgl and have some snowboarding lessons. It's something I've never tried before.'

She and her boy friend took private snowboarding lessons with an Ischgl snowboard instructor. 'It's been great,' said Leona. 'The surroundings are wonderful. And the snowboarding has gone really well, I think – well, I haven't hurt myself and the snow is really soft when you do have a fall. '

It's the first time I've ever snowboarded – in fact, it's the first time I've really been in the mountains. And I absolutely love it.'
