Ski bunny wannabe!

I looove skiing!

I love the snow, the atmosphere, the fresh air. The only part I don't like is how much it costs! The passes are crazy-expensive - $182 for 2 days at Perisher and $92 for 1 day at Thredbo. Even just getting into Kosciusko National Park costs $22 per vehicle!

I'm a snow plower. I'm trying to learn parallel skiing but I've only been skiing twice. I still can't parallel ski on a slope ahahaa I can sort of manage it on an almost flat slope. I did conquer the chair lifts - not once did I stack it after getting off a chair lift - heh I'm so proud of myself. It did take me 3 days to learn how to do it 2 years ago.

Some moments pissed me off though like when I fell, and couldn't get up.. on flat ground ahahaha, and then some smartass punk on the chair lift decided to test his aim by throwing a snowball at me... well joke's on him cos he missed ahahhaah

Had quite a few funny moments... like when me and Rex were trying to get on the T-bar and the guy that sets the bar at your bum set the bar too high so it actually started pulling me by my jacket up the slope. Most exciting thing that happened to him that day he said hahaa.
Then there was the time I went on a blue slope (greens are the easiest, blues are a level up) and couldn't stop myself cos the snow was waaay too icy and thin in some places... so instead of a slow descent down, I pretty much sped down screaming and apologising to people I accidentally cut off. Then there was the time when I went on the blue slope again and took a wrong turn. Luckily the 2 paths met up again and I sped down past my friends who were wondering where the heck I came from hahaa.

I stacked really well too... had a couple of falls where the slope was steep so I just kept sliding down the mountain skiing on my bum.. and once on my stomach ahahhaha so I had a lot of practice getting up on the slope when I fell.

Wanna go back again for longer ... maybe this season if it snows again!
