I went Sking at Winterplace

[Got Brio?]

Ok so I went sking at Winterplace in West Virgina. I went with my Church youth group. And I went to the beginner ski school class the first hour and a half. And I did good until we had to go down a steep hill,and I ended up falling down and sliding into another groups jacket pile and into the instructor. :oops: It was really embrassing! Then we went to the afternoon sking and me and my friend Alex Conrad went down a slope and ended up not falling down.
We had a lot of fun! This one guy in our group Adam ran into a block of ice and twisted his knee,and ski patrol and to come get him in a sled and take him down to the lodge. It made all of us ski like crazy down the mountain.
Then when we went night sking 2 guys named Will and Wes were sking down a advanced slope. this girl was flying down the mountain(out of control)and she ran into Wes and they went tumbling down the slope about 9 yards and ran to another girl she ended up breaking her leg!!!! During this me and Alex were sking down a slope called Country roads,it was a really cool slope. We all ended up having a great time! Even if our butts were sore from falling.LOL

I've never snow skied, only water skied. I heard it's really hard. I would probably would have broken something too. :oops: Glad you didn't. :D

I've been water skiing and snow skiing ONCE.

Water skiing, I got up on the skis the first time and when I looked at how fast I was going over the top of the water, I freaked. That was the end of my water skiing experience. I am not a good swimmer and have a strong fear of the water (thanks "Jaws") especially water I cannot see through.

Snow skiing I tried when we lived in WA State about 6 years ago. I did the lesson and I was the person who fell down the MOST. I mean, I fell down at least once every 5 minutes the ENTIRE time I was on the skis. I have a bad R hip and I could not turn to the left because I couldn't twist my hip joint to plant that ski to make the turns. So I'd fall. If we were turning right I was great! Left, face-plant.
I also had trouble stopping with the snow-plow technique because I couldn't turn out my R hip which would make me do an abrupt right turn and I'd over-balance and fall.

I'm glad you had fun. I think I'd like to try snowboarding. Once.

That sounds like fun!!!!! I have been too winter place twice in the past 2 years and it was really fun. I snow boarded the first year and skiied the 2nd. Snow boarding is deffintly harder but is still fun. Skiing is much eaiser and I was able to go down a black mountain the first day!!! I water ski all the time in the summer, so that probaly helped some.
Glad you had a good time!!! :D

I went on a lake retreat 2 years ago with the same group,and we tubed and water skied. I only tubed because the water sking looked a little tough.lol
