This was me on Saturday at the top of Vista Ridge and before I attempted to ski down it the first time. It was a "green" run (which is the easiest) but I was still a little nervous and put on a brave smile for the camera.
However I was smiling even bigger when I got to the end. It was soooo much fun!
This was the second time I've been skiing in a months time and by far the best. The first time was just getting used to skiing again (after a 15 year break) and trying to get my confidence up. I'm still not very good but gained a little more confidence.
In fact I was feeling really good until Brian and Chris decided to go a different route which included jumps. What???? I took two jumps (I had no choice and couldn't avoid them) but didn't get any air as I attempted to go over them as slow as possible. They were mildly fun and *maybe* next time I would go a little faster.
I did learn to carve and after much encouragement to take the hill faster before turning I did it and then skiing became even more fun. I think next time I will tackle some steeper hills.
The weather was wonderful and the snow was better then we expected. In fact most of the time I was way too hot and kept taking away layers. Aw the joys of spring skiing.
The ski season is pretty much done now but I can't wait until November to start again.
