Hello, welcome to the the blog. Ah, where are the rest, sleeping. No doubt they are complaning the lack of contact. Ok, saturday the 10th, skiing day. Left at 9 in the morning, and headed to a place called mt brighton. hardly a mountain, a man made hump on the ground covered with man made snow. Oh yes, they have snow makers there, which spew out snow at quite an impressive rate.
My first time at skiing. But I would say, my ice-skating helped. So we bought a package, got 1 1/2 hour of training and then practised on the bunny hill.(bunny=begginerest). I got the hang of that while the others had to struggle a bit. Eventually, we all came out nicely and manged to come down the hill in one piece. Once though I had a nice tumble and lost a ski and fell on my face pretty hard. No harm, did I mention that snow is soft.
Post lunch session(which consisted of horribly expensive and bad pizza) we headed back and had the most productive time. The guys headed to the intermediate slope with the gals still on the bunny slope. Well about 5-6 runs down the intermediate and still in one piece. That was good. The worst part were the rope tows. To get up the hill, you hold a rope going up and just get pulled up. And you have to hold the rope pretty hard. So my hands were getting sore and more sore while my gloves lost quite a bit of the inner surface. Getting up the bunny slope was fine, but the intermediate specially towarrds the higher side, where the slope is steeper, it took some holding.
Then me and another guy got a little more zealeous and decided to elevate outselves to another level. There they had ski lift, which looked so much better than the tope tows. So up we went and got a reprimand up there that we dint have the appropriate passes. We said and ok and down we went(via the snow route offcourse). Now this was fun, atleast teh slope lasted for some time as compared to the others which got over before they even began.
Well, net results, lots of fun, great time, and a sore aching body. Took a hot bath yesterday and capped the day with Munna Bhai MBBS, do see this one, its a fun movie.
All right you guys, I am expecting atleast two lines. Cheers
