Skiing
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!WHY DID EVERY AND ANYONE FAIL TO TELL ME HOW F*ING AMAZING SKIING IS?
AWESOME!!!
Ok, so I obviously enjoyed my trip. It was so much fun. Even the falling down part (which I did my fair share of). I totally caught air intentionally - and I went between trees - and I was all about the swooshing noise when I would turn - I SO sounded like a real skier person except for the almost constant screaming, giggling, or proclamations that I was going to die.
The first night was great, but scary, because of the whole - I don't know what I'm doing and I did get a lesson and all but hello - he didn't come with me down the mountain but just some little bump at the bottom. And he didn't mention the whole "how to get on and off of a ski lift" part. (I only fell once getting off, btw, so you should be proud of me).
Also scary because of the whole it's very dark out thing. And there are "cliffs" b/c I am on a fricking mountain. Ahhh - but sooooo much FUN.
Then we skied all day Saturday with a little break for lunch and it was awesome. I did all the single and double greens (because I'm so brave) and a few blues. Toward the end of the night we (Patrick and I - Greg didn't fare so well with the whole skiing thing and the three of us were the inexperienced ones) were following Edric and Kim (the experienced ones) down a blue (where I didn't fall) and then came upon some crazy, still a long way down part that was really, really steep - and bumpy (mogley? I obviously don't know how to spell).
It was "supposed" to be a blue - and I totally did it and only fell once - but it turned out to be a black. Oops. Apparently the blue part we were supposed to go down had been closed because it was so warm during the day and too much of the snow had melted. Wow. That was interesting to say the least. I was very happy when I made it down but was not into trying it again at that point.
Once we got back to the house we were staying in I was really excited about Sunday and actually trying more blues and maybe an "easy" black. When we woke up it was warm and raining. BAD for skiing. It did it all morning and into the afternoon. So we didn't make it back out. That was sad, but we did get to roller skate for free which is nice. I didn't fall down and was actually able to at least not kill myself with my attempts.
Anyway, so I am supposed to be doing I'm not sure what - planning I guess - I have first period off this semester - I am so going to have to motivate myself and be disciplined so I'll be going now. Hope all is well and I can't wait to get back out on the slopes!!!
Oh, did I mention that I saw in passing an ex? I did - I don't think he saw or recognized me - I would have gone over to say hi and all that jazz but WE WERE ON THE WAY TO SKI so who had time for idle chit chat? Geeze.
I think I may have discovered a new obsession.
