Yes! I learned to ski this weekend, oh yes I did!
No lessons, just the patience of my boyfriend, who proved to
be an excellent guide. I skiied a few hours and fell down four
times.
Naturally, the first time my coat caught some serious snow
was when I went off a ski lift for the first time with skis on.
Alex, my boyfriend, and I planned for me to go to the right at the
top of the lift.
Go to the right I certainly did! Almost right in to the
little building right next to the lift!
But a few runs later, I was practicing my turns and control
of my skis. And having a great time.
I did have to take it easy eventually, because my fourth and
final fall reminded me that while I'm only 26, my knees aren't what
they used to be!
I'm very pleased with the snow we just received. I hope it
means I'll get to ski the slopes again before next season
starts.
