Land of Tammy

The last weekend in January I went skiing with Nick over at romandock dot com. I hadnt been skiing in a really long time so I was a bit nervous about going but yet really excited to be going. We got to the slopes and we got all our gear on and we were ready to go skiing. We went outside and made our way over to the the chair lift which was a task in itself because it was hard to get used to the feel of the skis again. Needless to say we got on the chair lift and I freaked out, it went up and up and I thought the chair was supposed to tilt more than it did and of course I was wearing slippery snowpants and it felt like I was going to fall off the chair.

I overcame the fear of the chair lift and when we got off the lift we read the signs on where to go for the easiest slope. The way they had it set up you had to ski toward the slope and the slope started basically right where you got off the chair lift which I wasnt expecting. I made the first slope without falling and then we went to the bunny hill which I found to be more dificult because you had to hold onto a rope and use your arm muscles to get yourself up the slope. The actual slope was super easy. After the slope we made our way to the chair lift again. I wasnt aware that Nick was going to have us go to the next level of slope. The slope turned and I didnt realize that the slope turned and I flew off the path and flipped over and slid backwards and my ski fell off. I thought I was stuck because I couldnt see where Nick was. Then I heard the voice it was a familiar voice it was NICK!!! yay he had come to save me, along with a nice man on a fourwheeler. He had come to ask me if I needed ski patrol, at the time I was still in shock and I didnt know if I was ok or not. Nick helped me get my ski back on and we made our way to the chair lift.

The rest of the skiing experience was pretty normaly up the chair lift and down the slope we did the easier ones more than Nick probably wanted to but since I am inexperienced I felt I should stick to the easier slopes. So that was my skiing trip in a nut shell. I had a great time and I think Nick did also. Falling was not much fun but at least I didnt break anything. Attached are a two pictures from after the experience.
