So Ezra and I got to go skiing last Friday with our friend James since he has a season pass and extra snow gear for us to use.
We left the house at 7:30 a.m. and headed to the ski lodge. It took us about three hours to get there since there was a lot of traffic, and we got stopped multiple times to make sure we had chains. We had them but never needed to use them since James' truck had a four-wheel drive. Usually, the drive would be two hours long.
When we finally got there, we were given cards, so when we wanted to use the ski lifts, the people could scan our cards and let us go.
There are three types of skill levels. Green is for the easiest hills. Blue is for medium hills. And Black is for the hardest hills to ski down. We, of course, went down the Green level since we had never skied before.
James showed us how to slow down or stop if we go super fast. After he had taught us, I started to ski down the hill. I thought Ezra and James were next to me, but they were still at the top of the hill. I waited for about five minutes, but they still hadn't caught up with me yet, so I just kept going through the level. Then, once I got to the bottom, I waited for them to come for ten minutes, but they still hadn't come yet. Skiing, for some reason, came super easy to me.
I got back on the ski lifts and did the whole level again. And the funny thing is, I found Ezra and James still on the level and passed them. I passed them about four or five times while they were still on the level. 😂 James is a pro at skiing, but he was teaching Ezra. James told me that skiing is kind of like rollerblading, and I've done rollerblading and ballet, so I'm guessing that's why I was able to learn really fast and balance well. And Ezra said he hates rollerblading, so maybe that's the reason. I mean, he also hasn't done ballet. 😁After a while, he was getting the hang of it.
Here are some vids and pics I took while I was there:
