GSA ski trip today! I got up at 6:45 am to catch the 7:30 am bus rides to Seven Springs resort.

I skiied today (because snowboarding was $15 more)…and was pleasantly impressed at how much I improved. Ever since I was 5 or 6, my parents took my sister and me up to Tahoe once a year to ski or snowboard. Everytime I went, I just couldn\’t handle the lesson. I just naturally have bad form for almost every single sport. And all this accumulated to frustration. So I never really knew how to ski until several years ago when I got over the you-cannot-teach-me-anything-if-i-cannot-learn-how-to-do-it-myself phase.

So basically, I am at the level of someone who has skiied two days. :) I am so sore! I was able to do a blue square falling only once. But not only that, I also skiied into a course and started turning between the blue/red flags until a lady yelled at me. Doh, how could I have known there was a competition going on! No major wipeouts unless you count the times that I fell intentionally because I was about to go into a black diamond zone.

Next up: master the snowboard. I anticipate approximately 10 years.
