1/10 - Ski Day
The first of life and the first trip of this year.
The hour long drive, just nearby, the rec.center.
Winter trails
Enthusiastic kids
Kilo-meters ahead of the white stuff.
Cross-country skiing.
The bright sunny day right overhead, clear skies in the afternoon.
-5 celcius.
Fluffy clothing, my blue jacket - that is actually designed for skiing.
This one was simple.
Not too many highs and lows.
Going up the mountain.
Fell ones
Walked for while, into the ski-grooves for the assistance..
The toddlers and the kids - some packed in the stroller behind sledded, others just trying to move on those strange flat shoes.
Cute little things!
the poles assistance was wonderful.
Standing up after falling was easier, since the shoe was attached from the front end.
Somehow have to come on the knee way sitting.
Went up for about an hour.
The legs were practiced that way, go Up!
- whats coming next was totally unexpected.
The coming down part.
That speed.
And no way to stop.
Tried a few times to slow.
the legs go forth and the upper body - cant understand the change.
And there is the fall.
Happened 5-6 times every 2-3 minutes. On the bum, everytime. Stood up everytime. The thing with these falls, they dont show-up then and there.
But after. And lingers on and on for months.
Hope nothing like that'd happen.
Down-hill was fun after.
Feeling the cold, chill and the speed all together.
Fun!

9:30 ish - and off to sleep.
The morning tomorrow will be trouble to wake up.

Rented out the equipments - poles, ski, shoes and the winter trail fee.
