My first ski

I have ski only twice. The first time was in Jan 2005.

I went to Sunday River Skiing Resort, Maine, with a bunch of friends. They were all good skiers and snowboarders.

Remus and Helen brought me up to the top of one of the green trail without giving me any instruction on the ground. They did show me how to ski on the way down, and I literally rolled down the hill... I kept falling onto the snow every 10-20 feet.

After 2 more ski/roll down the green trail, I decided to do some basic practice on the learner's slope. I looked at the instructor who was teaching a bunch of 4-6 years-old children. After an hour of practice, I started to have better control on my move.

After lunch, I went up the green trail again. I managed to fall only once or twice on the way down. Even Remus and Helen said I learned fast.

I can tell people that I learned ski in 3 hours. I am quite proud of it.
