st sauveur

Man.. sore arms... mainly just sore arms. This time i think i got more skiing than i could handle. > 10 runs on saturday and sunday. Compare to last time in Tremblant, this time i really got my heart content with this "healthy" amount of skiing.

I spent a little bit of time with jin on Saturday, just to keep her company while she struggled a bit on the baby hill. She's not bad... at first, it was almost as if she have never skiied before. She skiied fine in tremblant the first time with the instructor, with a few falls here and there, but she wasn't too scared. I think she just need some time alone by herself to figure this ski thing out without much help from me. She would be less dependent on other people. With Roger there, i went on by myself after a few runs on the baby hill. Freezing it was, but it was not enough to dampen my keeness on skiing.

I mean, this is all by myself. Don't have jin to worry about, just ski and a lot of kids, on the beginners hill. I'm a bit on the advance side of beginners, but too chicken to try the blue hill. So sometimes it was more of avoiding hitting the small innocent children. Because here's the problem - i ski better than most of them, but just don't have the fine control on speed and direction. I mean, i can stop, and maneuvre my way down the hill, but just not good enough to avoid sudden fall of the people in front of me. So a lot of my scare come from that.

To go into record, i did try one of the blue hill named "Jays". It is obviously tougher than green. Drops are steeper, and longer, so if i couldn't control myself in highspeed, i'm still not good enough yet. And that's what happened. I would ski down, try to control the speed, but on sharp drop, it's just impossible to ski down at a good manageable speed. So had 3 falls before reaching the bottom, and decided... green i belong.
