​​​ Having done 4 face plants, run into two wooden poles, get run over by a family of 5 getting off the ski lift, getting snow up your pants, or just plain falling? Well it's not that fun and by the time you read this story, you will figure that out. Here's the story of me and my first skiing trip. The first trip skiing trip is pretty much just a learning curve of just being balanced, and being able to move. It isn't always that fun well, at least for the first 2 hours. The first run down I was just turning left, right, left, right I think you get the point. Now, to the middle of the situation, it took 2 HOURS to get down the hill. I'm serious, it was crazy it didn't seem that long, but apparently it was. Then, we go in and eat and rest blah, blah, blah. Then we go again. I had trouble with getting off the ski lift the WHOLE time. Except for once, and it was this time just because it stopped just as I was getting off. I still fell because I tried to get off and my motion was going forward and the lift was going backwards so plop, there I go. It was just a success because I didn't come close from anybody running over me. Like a truck and a squirrel. Of course the truck's going to win that's how it’s like when I'm trying to get off the ski lift. See, that is how much trouble I have getting off the ski lift. Here is my worst try getting off the ski lift. Ok, so we're just about to get off and I almost totally blow my dad into a million pieces. So then I have to make a sharp turn, and there I go falling AGAIN! Then comes a family of 5, maybe in my opinion a little too much for one ski lift. So I’m still on the ground, I'm panicking because they're just about to get off while I'm still using all my energy to get up. Also I'm not to happy because my dad's laughing just fine having no problems. It's all good for him unlike me who is about to get annihilated. Then, I'm thinking, I like have 2 seconds and then those very few seconds go by and KA BOOM. I got splattered. I'm on the bottom of the pile, people are mad, I’m in pain, they finally get off I put my skis back on strode gingerly back to my dad. And here is my dad and I quote. "Buddy you need to figure out how to get off that thing even though it was funny." I didn't find it very amusing at the time though he did. Next, I go down the hill/mountain at Mt.Cresent whatever you want to call it. And it was a lot better 10 minutes that's it we cut down the time by 1 hour and 50 minutes. I'd say that’s pretty amazing. Then we go again 5 minutes then 3 then 2 and that's about where it stayed. So what I’m saying is it can be painful, but it can be accomplished. It's not that easy.
