That's right, no broken bones, no scars, no impaling anyone with my skis..wooo whoooo! I must admit I was a little nervous when Ashly came knocking on our door Monday morning asking us if we were gonna go to the hill. I said it was Pascal's call, and he decided that we should go. So I scrambled to get gear together from some of our neighbours (ie//goggles, gloves, helmet, etc...) So we were able to be out the door and ready by the time the next bus came around.
Pascal was doing really well to try to calm my nerves.
We than get to the hill, I go and rent my skis (free coupon for a high performance ski package rental..sweet!) and than proceed to the bunny hill.
We get on the t-bar which is foreign to Pascal again since he hasn't used it in ages..but like a trooper he stuck with me the few times we went on there.
Afterwards we met Everett, Ashly and Lance and we all went down Pinecomb together. It was such a cool feeling! I wasn't as scared the last time I went down and some of my technique is improving.
The day went really well and after a couple of times on Pinecomb, Ashly asked if I wanted to go down Wiwaxy (The run I froze on the last time I was there) I said yes. I was doing really well untill I had a big wipe out that scared me a little just cause of the way I fell (mind you I had already fallen a couple of times that day) Pascal was right there making sure I was alright and was with me till I got up. I eventually made it down the hill but I was anxious to leave. I really hope I'm not back to square one again! It frustrates me how little kids and the elderly can pick this up faster than me. Everyone said I did really good but i'm a tougher critic!
We went back home, I talked on the phone with my family (even Pascal got to talk to my mom for a little bit...so cute! :D) Than we went back over to Ev's and Ash's for some homemade dinner via Pascal. Such a good cook! He make a Swiss dish called Grah Tah (i think that's how you spell it) and it was delicious! Pasta with vegies, ham and bacon hmmmm :) After that we watched Eagleeye and than came home for a much needed rest since I worked at 6:30 this morning.
All in all a good day and I was very proud of myself for getting back on the figuritive horse and trying it again. Thanks to all for the support! Specially you Pas!
To end this post, a beautiful winter setting pic in Lake Louise :)
