Day 1!
off we gooo!
my darling and me!
people in the back seat!!
the chain for the tyre. its for more grip when we go up the mountain.
finally after 6 hours of driving.
i see snow!! woots!
the view of the mountains and snow were just breath taking.
After checking in, time to get our equipment!
there is a choice between snowboarding and skiing.
we chose snowboarding! coz its cooler!!
first, the shoes. the shoes suppose to be super tight to prevent injures, it took me a while for my foot to get in there. and its really hard walking in them especially goin up and down the stairs.
the boards!! the length of the board is according to your height. the board should be until ur chin when held vertical.
the wind breakers, oh, its super warm in there. i just wore 2 long sleeves shirts under it and it was warm enough.
Day 2!
snowboarding time! the slope where lessons are conducted and the chair lift to the summit, a slope for beginners.
groupie shot before the 2 hour lesson.
our instructor from england, was very patient with us! haha.
i was one of the slow ones.
cookie monster eating snow! haha.
my cookie keychain on my camera was hanging out of my pocket.
i fell down countless times during our lesson,
and thats how all the snow got into his mouth and all over his body.
green means that ski lift is open.
after lunch, we headed up to the summit!
the slope was *gulpp* super longgg.
top of the summit.
and it was my 1st time taking the chair lift. i was scared!!!! the wind was so strong and the chair was swinging from side to side.
and another problem was getting off the ramp, i just fell off the chair as i could not balance on my board and they gotta stop the chair lifts for me to get out of the way.
*bangga* i went up that slope 3 times in i think about 3 hours? haha.
the 1st time up there, i just kept falling and falling. and after every fall, i will take a 10 mins break, just by sitting on the snow, in the middle of the slope.
i guess the other skiers will be like " get out of the way! "
but i cant, im just exhausted.
then the 2nd and 3rd time was better.
my 3rd time on that slope, jolyn and hsingfu just reached the bottom of the slope for the 1st time.
guess wat where they doing, when all of us were snowboarding.
eh..eh.. look at them..
that was when all of us started teasing them.
they were making mr snowman! like doink!
and cam whore in the middle of the slope???
after 1 day of snowboarding!!
happy yet injured!
all of us were complaining about bruises on our knees and bambam.
Day 3!
thats ME!!! in action!
it was a veri veri misty and foggy day. i actually din intend to snowboard that day because of my veri veri sore bottom! and my tail bone was hurting veri badly.
however, i didnt want to waste the lesson that i had already paid for.
surprisingly i did not fall as much as i did the day before.
it was then snowboarding became so fun.
gliding down without falling, the feeling was great.
even though soo many skiers and snow-boarders were gliding pass me at great speed.
i still felt proud!
hmpf!! *nose up high*
seee! at least we could all stop at a same stop,
BREAK, SIT, TAKE A PHOTO.
before this when the instructor wanted us to group up. we will all land in different spots, as we still could not control the board tat well, and then we will drag the boards and our bams to the instructor or if we are too tired we will just take off the board and walk there.
its my first time seeing REAL snow! and touching it.
the snow was sooo fluffy! really wanted to just lie down.
me and baby iggy!
and guess wat?
jolyn did not sit properly on that chair lift and she sledded down. luckily hsingfu was there to grab on to her and luckily she herself grabbed on to the chair!
so the operators of the chair stopped the conveyer and untied her board, as it was the one pulling her down. then she lost her grip and fell to the ground.
luckily it wasnt that high up!
lucky her!!
pheww* luckily it wasnt me sitting beside her. i think i will b the 1st one to scream! and i dont think my reaction will be fast enough to catch her.
iggy me jo and hsingfu!
heavy boards!
i really really had a great great time!
even though my tail bone still hurts.
thanks to sher!! for organising.
and hsing yang for driving us there and back!
and jolyn for inviting me.
and ignatius for helping me carry my board when i was so exhausted,
and pulling me up when i fell,
and encouraging me when i was giving up.
cant wait for next winter.
*as if i will definitely be going again. hehe.*
loving my holidays!
