2nd day at the ski!!
Another new day, even with sore muscles, we were still excited to fall down! LOL
We bought the Explorer package this time, for $150 pp. Well, skiing is
definitely an expensive sport and requires a lot of effort! With the
explorer package, we got an intermediate lesson and the 'all mountain'
chair lift pass. So we took the chairlift to Parklane with the skis,
which is also the beginner area, but longer slope and still a lot of
people. Its really funnnnn...
Is the snow yummy Peter?
How cute... =)
There are only 6 of us in the intermediate lesson group, so the
instructor was able to see our weakness and point it out. We learned how
to make smooth parallel turns and stop like professional skier. Okay..
Now we think we are ready to go further up, to the Movenpick. We took
the chair lift even higher to reach Movenpick (which is nothing for
intermediates) but for us it is scary... The slope is so steep that we
can only see the downhill when we are right upfront... If you know what
we mean.. Got a bit taken back after seeing the slope, but we don't want
to use the chair lift to get down. So the only way is to face it!
Really worth it, the adrenalin rushing through our body when going down steep hill with speed.. Cool! New Zealanders or Kiwis are so lucky that they have such snow mountains and so many small kids learn how to ski from their parents. It is just one of the sport that trains up the bravery and physical ability of the people here.
We saw a father on skis carrying a baby on his shoulder while his arm holds another toddler who is learning how to ski. Really superb!
