Day
2, 3, and 4 was spent playing in the snow.
Day 2 was our first full day in Colorado. We woke up without an alarm clock. This is a big deal for me. HA! We
got ready and went to get our skis. I
opted out of going to ski school because we only had 3 days to ski and because
we had to pay for it. I thought I don’t need
ski school; I got this. HA! I thought I could teach myself by watching and
practicing. Ok… let’s get real, I needed
ski school!
The
1st day wasn’t bad at all. We
stayed on the practice slopes where all the teachers and kids were. So I got tidbits of information from just
listening to the instructors teach other people. Then I just practiced by going down the small
ski slope. (It was a very small hill) I was doing pretty good, except I couldn’t
STOP or TURN when I wanted. I felt out
of control! I don’t like that feeling.
I
started to feel pretty confident on the small hill so I decided to go to a
bigger slope. It was still considered a
practice slope, but I was told that all the green slopes (which are the easy
slopes) were just like the 2nd slope. So here we go…
The
first time down I did pretty well, except I went down WIDE OPEN!! I was a little scared. But it was fun so I did it again and
again. I started to try and practice how
to turn while going down the slope, NOT a good idea. I was headed down the slope and going straight
for the ski lift which was going up the mountain. I was starring straight at this woman. I am sure she was thinking what is she
doing?! I thought I was going to take
her out and ski right off the mountain.
I finally got going the other way and lost control. The next thing I know I was sliding down the
mountain on my shoulder and back. When I
finally came to a stop, Michael comes skiing up beside me to help me stand back
up right. Oh my goodness!! I was a little embarrassed! Sorry no picture! HA!
We
skied a few more times down the small slope after my accident and then decided
to go eat lunch and hang out in the room for a little while. Only minor injuries this day! HA!
After lunch we walked around the small town and took a ride on the gondola.
