This was Kate's first time on skis and Will's second, though it may as well have been his first since I think he was just three the last time we went.

| This is the more advanced slope. It's 620 meters long--not that I tried it out. I stay firmly on the bunny hill! |
No pictures of Will. Guess why? As usual he tried to hide every time he saw my camera and I'm not talented enough on skis (actually, I'm a menace) to get any action shots. Not entirely true, I guess. I did manage this one:

As for me, I managed not to wipe out and take anyone with me, so I consider that a successful day's skiing!
I think the reason kids manage stuff better is they arent afraid of falling... wheras we try hold ourselves so as not to hurt if we do (which never works)
ReplyDeleteS has often mentioned about winter/snow holidays, but afraid experiencing so much snow in Lux over christmas I feel reluctant. But hearing of this place, hmm .. maybe I could give that a try.
Kate looks all business with her outfit and skis though!!! :D She will be looking to go again soon I bet.
I think you're right. Kids have no fear and they're much lower to the ground than we are. No wonder they take to these things right away! You should give the Snowhall a chance. It was great for beginners!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm tiny myself (134cms) so I shouldn't be scared of falling either, maybe its more wounded pride!
ReplyDeleteI've added it to my list of things to try do when I'm there. It's just awkward when it's only every 8 weeks for a couple of days to try do things.
