SOLV's Ski Trip (2.28 - 3.1)

Skiing? Yeah, it was skiing! This trip made a history in my life. I just couldn't believe that I dared try skiing. The first dreadful thing was wearing ski boots walking because it was heavy and thus hurt my legs a lot. I was the slowest and poorest skier in my team (No. 3). Needless to say, I kept falling down so many times on the first day's afternoon and second day's morning that I almost gave up. But, with the instruction, encouragement and help from the instructor and team mates, I could finally be on my own in the afternoon. Phew!!! I could hardly keep myself balanced on the skis according to the "A-Y" strategy, which is that you have to keep your ski's front tips close and rear tips wide open like an "A" and keep your body up right with your legs open like a big up-side-down "Y" in order to control the speed. Then, I was getting better on the last day. I could ski on my own faster and more confidently. Well, not really confident!!! But, at least I could make some, maybe many, turns, and I even tried the steeper and wider slope, with instructor for the 1st time, on my own without fall for the 2nd time (^_-) and with several falls for the 3rd time (T_T). So, I'd better go back to my old path and I did enjoy skiing down there. Yeah, I made it!!! \(^_^)/
