So we survived our first ski trip together. It was absolutely perfect and while I have a lot of work to do on my skiing, it was so nice to be back on the snow (or lack of snow). The weather was so warm and made for fantastic skiing weather, but it did cause there to be large patches of grass on the slopes and the snow to be VERY slushy. I blame the poor snow conditions for my terrible skiing...(ok maybe that was not the only reason) I let Jay ski by himself the first day. He did all the hard runs and was nice and worn out for the second day with me. (Well, that was the plan at least.) He stayed with me all day and was so patient with my poor skills. He was an amazing coach and did not give up on me even when I loudly expressed, "this is not fun for me". (oops...just anxiety and frustration coming out. )As the day when on, I got more comfortable and ready to conquer this skiing thing. Watching a crazy girl on the mountain, crying from anxiety and so nervous, I knew I couldn't be that bad. Still have many years of practice, but feel I can get there. Here are a few shots from the trip.
First run of Day 2 skiing for Jay, Day 1 of skiing together-notice the amount of clothes and the patient face
I am super happy-but have not yet had a run...
loing layers..temperature creeping up to the 80s
The run I did almost all day...the only one that didn't cause a panic attack.
Coach Jay and proud student...
Not your
everyday sight...just too cute not to capture
Ski day complete, I survived and now time to enjoy some beers, sunshine and live music. What a wonderful weekend.
