France - Ski Trip - 2005/02/11 ~ 2005/02/14

It's a ski trip at Alpe d'Huez, arranged by the class. I was excited because it's my first time to ski. At the beginning I couldn't get the feeling to control the skis at all. However after the instruction by a colleague and the one-day practice, I could ski all the way down the hill with high speed on the second day! Learning from the experience, I realized that knowing how to fall is extremely important. On the first day I fell twice with the skis crossed, and was lucky that I didn't get injured. Later when I got better skill, I could fall with safer positions and even enjoy lying on the snows. :P

At night we took a walk in the town, went to the bars, or stayed at the apartment to eat, talk, drink, and etc. We had great time and enjoyed the snow so much.

It would be fun to go ski again and learn to be skillful!
