part II of my holidays
So todays about what i wished i did during the hols but couldnt.. btw. im like peeling right now.. ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!! hate it... and its only my face.. not my arms yet... brr.. mmmF!!! anyways.. so ya.. lemme just give u some background info abt my past fav hols experiences..
Yesterday i met my friend(felicia) at worship prac. She had just come back from her holiday to Korea and was talking abt how she sprained her wrist on her first day of snowboarding.. SNOWBOARDING!!!!! wow.. i haven't tried that b4.. my bro did once but he didnt favour it over skiing.. SKIING!!!!!
I still remember when i first skiied.. i was about seven then.. and my family joined two other families who were like pro to go to Vail Colorado to ski. There were 6 days to ski and my whole family attended lessons. The lessons were for three days and after that we could join the otehr families. Hwow.. it was really fun.. learning to ski.. and parallex errors about how gentle a slope looks from the bottom but when ure at the top.. hwoah.. its a totally diff. experience.. ure like " ehh.. am i on the slope i was looking at just now?? it seems to have adjusted by 10 degrees steeper.."
Lol.. yeah.. i was in a class abt my age grp and so off i went!!! Then on the day after my ski school ended(the fourth day), tragedy struck. Bleah.. it was when my family and i joined the others to ski by ourselves and i.. i had a fall and my glove came off.. and the temperature was like minus-15 and my hand got stuck in the thick, cold, saturated snow. My hand started to turn blue and one of my uncle's rushed down the slope to call for help while my dad blundered over and stuck my hand inside his ski coat to keep it warm... i remember i couldnt feel my hand at all!!! (it was my right hand) and i couldnt stop shivering while other ppl. came over to offer hand warmers(the stuff u put inside ski gloves to give u warmer hands.)wow!! it was SOO embarrasing!! lol.. but hey it was no joke..
Soon enough.. (it seemed like forever to me though) a snowmobile came riding up the slope and a ski guide helped me on it and we snowmobiled to the nearest headquarters.. back there they had my hand checked (by now i was indoors) and to warm my hand up they gave me a cup of hot milo to hold. wow.. the americans are so friendly!! and they also talked to me and kept me company till my family came.
Well... for the next two days.. i was sent back to ski school.. SOB!!!!! i felt so left out that i was the only one left in ski school but hey there was a sorta competition for beginners which i took part in and got 4th!! yay!! lol.. yeah.. thats about it for my 1st ever ski trip and traumatic experience.
Over the years i skiied about 4/5 more times... (cant remember) once in france, once in Japan and twice in Canada (whistler). Yeah and now skiing is so easy to me and SHIOK!!!!(especially when ur plummeting down a slope 100km/h) WOOHOO!! just.. dont fall.. my dad broke his ligement right below his knee on one bad fall in france.. he had to be sent for operations immediately when we arrived home. We didnt go the year after that but then two years later we hit the slopes again!!! (we couldnt forget the sheer enjoyment of skiing.. its like.. once u start u cant stop!!)
Yeah and i still remember after each day u just want to fall into the hotel bed and sleep cos u'd be so friggin' tired. lol.
Last year i went to ski in Vancouver.. it was abt one whole wk of skiing with a family of my bro's friend. Yeah.. it really was fun but.. on the second day my bro went off with his friend leaving me n my sis to ski by ourselves.. u noe before this trip i was the lousiest among my elder bro and sis and they always had to wait on me.. in this trip however i was much much better than my sis.. i went much faster and further and always had to wait for her instead.. making her feel so guilty she almost didnt wanna ski with me anymore.. for fear that she wasnt making my experience fun.. my bro is still the best though.. wow.. hes like pro lah.. but dun worry.. im one step behind.. though i STILL HAVENT TRIED A BLACK SLOPE!!!! Yarg!! skiied so many times and still havent attempted the second toughest ranked slope on any of my trips before.. dunno what a black slope is?? here is some imformation for YOU!
Colours of slopes(according to degree of slope and level of difficulty):
1. Green - For beginners new to skiing or old folks afraid of fast slopes. The gentlest any easiest type of slope.
2. Blue - For intermediates. These slopes are slightly steeper and harder to manouver. These slopes are the ones i usually ski on.
3. Red - Not all places have this. This slopes are for intermediate-advance skiiers. These slopes are pretty steep and quite challenging. I love skiing on these slops the most. For the places that dont have this colour slopes this colour falls under Blue.
4. Black - A slope for advance - expert skiiers. Extremely steep at like 60-75 degrees and very challenging and very very dangerous. This is the kind of slope if i dont try on my next trip i would terribly regret!!! My bro has only been on this kind of slope once and he had to manouver extremely slowly in order not to fall and no beginner should ever dream of trying this kind of slope out. I still want to though cos im getting abit tired of blue and red slopes. Though im not sure if im fully prepared yet but.. i'll never noe right?
5. Double Black - This kind of slopes are for experts - professionals. Unbelievably steep from 75-90 degrees!!! Yes, thats right, 90 DEGREES!!! some of these slopes have twelve foot drops in the middle of them!! woah... i definitely would not try these slopes till black slopes are my forte. Even professional skiing competitions mostly use black slopes, not double blacks. I kudos to all the brave who go on these life-threatening slopes. GG to them man.
Yeah.. so really regret that i didnt get to ski this year.. haiz.. but i will ski in 2006 after my o's at Lake Taho!! WOOHOOO!!!!!! but.. theres o'levels b4 that.. haiz... AARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! really wish i skiied this year.. o well.. i didnt have space to fit the trip in if i did go anyway.. haiz... MUST DO A BLACK SLOPE!!!! lol... guess this is all for now.. haha looks like i wrote like.. alot.. whoops.. haha... well there u have it.. the thing i missed most during my hols... really envious of ppl who went but.. guess its too late to complain now..
next time ill post the ten most ridiculous things ive done so far in my life that i can remember.. till then!! CHEERS :D
