Powderpuff: First Ski Experience

First Ski Experience

Mini-DV and I just came back from Hunter Mountain ski trip. Went up in a group of 7. We took a beginner ski lesson and bought the try-pak. It was a good fall experience.

When I realized that I was the only one kept the whole class waiting. I decided to pass our second round up to the bunny slope. When I told the ski coach that, without any doubts, he immediately said to me "thank you for coming". Now you all know how bad I was. And I did try to keep up my good sports spirit. However, I regretted that we need to return for 2 more times to get our money worth. Unfortunately, it's non-transferable.

At the end of the day, one of our friends only taught me one little skill that finally made my day. I slowly learned not to fall and stop.

There are two lines to describe my first ski experience: "I am falling, and I can't get up". " A good student requires a good teacher".

Now, I start my year 2006 with bruises and whole lot of body ache, and Mini-DV with a damaged cornea in his left eye.
