Snow, snow,snow

I'M writing this as I lie in bed waiting for my alarm to go off. I can
feel I am stiff in almost every part of my body but hell it is worth
it. What an experience.

You see I spent yesterday skiing in Perisher, Australia. It was my
first time skiing and man what fun.
We got there at 8am so had about an hour before my Lesson starred. In
that time I managed to pick up enough to convince the instructors I
could handle level 3 which meant that pretty soon I was headed away
from the nursery slopes and onto some of the proper runs! During the
lessson we were taught to perfect the "snowplough" and handle some
turns and how to catch a Tbar and the other lifts.
By the end I could handle myself quite well. Today's Aim though is to
try a bit of more parallel skiing and less snowploughing!
Now to get out of bed and check the weather. Will post pics soon.
