Ski!!!

Went for ski on 22 feb with my housemates! Wan Long Ba Yi 万龙八易滑雪场 ski resort! It's located not too far from central beijing, jus a train and a short bus ride to reach. First time i ski. Really wanted to snowboard cos got experience in wakeboarding so feel safer about it. But ended up didn't go for it cos the whole group wanted ski.

Anyway, ski wasn't too hard too. Started at the beginner slope and went down safely without much problem. There was a moving track to bring ppl up the slope so it wasn't tiring to climb up and ski down. But the track moved quite slowly so a bit boring.

Went for the intermediate one soon after the beginner one. That one was slightly more challenging and i fell a few times there. Ski isn't really that easy afterall. But the fall was still not that bad and i followed jiwei and bor jenq when they went for the advanced slope. We took the ride up the hill. It was quite cool for it's my first time.

Up at the top of the advanced slope, my legs turned jelly. It was much higher and steeper than what i had imagined. OMG. But i jus went down the slope anyway. I fell after abt 3m and slided abt 5m down the slope. One of the ski came off and i picked it up and wore it back. Then ski down again and fell after abt 5m later. This time i lost grip of the ski stick and continued to slide downwards with the ski left behind. Damn the stick was stood standing on the ice about 5m uphill. It was quite a steep slope and i couldn't climb up the slope to retrieve the stick. I had to crawl like an idiot. Felt so noob but oh well. The remaining journey down the slope was fast cos i jus tumbled all the way down.

I decided not to attempt that challenging slope after that. Went for another advanced track on the other side. It was slightly easier, but i still rolled down everywhere. There was one roll that cost me 100RMB. A hard roll down made my ski stick bend. Bor jenq tried to bend it back for me later on and it broke.
Shag to ski but it's worth the experience!
