First Time Skiing - An Amazing Experience>

Dear Travel Journal,

I just came back from a ski trip with my younger cousin's Boy Scout troop. We stayed in a community college and basically camped out. It was cold outside, but inside was so warm...

Anyways, I went skiing for the first time. It was the BEST experience ever. From all the sports I've played, skiing was the best. Tennis, swimming, and ping-pong aren't even close. The speed and acceleration from coming down the slopes was exhilarating and thrilling. I live for speed and danger and that was exactly what I love.

I'm hooked. It is SO much fun. However one downside is the boots and skis. They are SO heavy. The skis I expected to be heavy but the boots are like made of metal. UBER heavy. I'm not used to heavy shoes because most of the shoes I wear are really light. So I had a hard time walking at first. But after I got used to it, it was okay. But when I put on my regular boots, I was like, Wow! This is light! Haha, I felt like I didn't have shoes on. ^^

So, after my two hour ski lesson, I was free to ski on my own. The ropes that haul you up the bunny slopes were really fun. Except, you have to know HOW to hold onto the ropes or else you fall and have to move to the side to let others behind you move up. Surprisingly, I got the hang of it real quick. I didn't fall once when I used the ropes. Except for that time when my grip on the rope loosened and I couldn't use two hands to hold it. I started sliding back and I didn't want to run into any possible skiers/snowboarders so I kneeled down on my knees and crawled to the left. >.<

P.S. I am itching to ski again. Hopefully it'll be soon! ^_^ I am going to snag any chance I have with skiing. So if we are going to Reno and there's snow, I'm skiing. No doubt about it.
