Christina and I took a day off (finally) and went to the Appi ski resort. Christina has been skiing most of her life, and she’s pretty good at it. I ski once every three years on average, often enough only for me to quickly get my confidence back and wear myself down so I’m tired when I try the more challenging slopes. Christina followed behind me and offered helpful tips to get me started again. By the early afternoon, I felt ready to try my first black (easy black-diamond equivalent) slope.
I only slid a quarter of the way down on my back. The rest of it I managed to stay up. Unfazed, we tried another one, which I slid halfway down on my side.
We went back to the blue slope, skiied down the hill, and called it a day after that!
