Ski Trip Goes Bad

Well, the much anticipated ski trip went pretty well.... right up to the point where I fell down and went boom. On my first trip down the easiest trail above the bunny slope, I had several falls. The last fall had me somehow using my thumb as a ski pole, thus hyper extending it backwards, nearly ripping the nail (made worse by having gotten acrylics on my birthday) from the bed. I also badly bruised my left leg and right hip. At least this all happened later in the day, around 2:30 pm. The kids got to enjoy most of the day. 3 of the 4 I brought with me managed to have succesful trips down the same slope. My 11 year old went down it five times!

I learned a valuable lesson..... I CAN'T do everything my children can do!! Who knew? LOL! Live and learn. I'm still looking forward to another opportunity to ski. I had fun up until that point. Next time I'll practice more on the bunny slope. Although, in my own defense, my boot buckles gave way twice (rental equipment), throwing me off balance and my husband says that the skis weren't sharpened as they should have been. Oh, and the conditions were icier than usual. But my own inexperience was obviously a factor, too. :)

 

Therefore... 

 I have no plans or desires to ever go skiiing again. I know I said something about "next time" in that post, but there will be no "next time". I'll just sit in the cafe, sipping coffee or cocoa and knitting if there is another skiing opportunity. :)

Hot cocoa is the best... especially on a cold day... I like your cocoa plan (((hugs)))
