Out in the "Field"~!!

Photobucket

my 1st steps on snow~ Wooohoo!! Yandao rite~! lol so exciting. The 2 of them went to try snowboarding, me & diana skiing. With my amazing sporting talent, im i can master skiing in few hrs, den i proceed to snowboard. lol.
Photobucket

We took ski lesson for beginners.. 3 hrs i think, honestly.. quite useless... so don bother to take it if you guys have a chance. spent most of the 3 hrs waiting for pple to try den finally my turn, den i complete in just 10 secs cos i'm juz so talented.. haiz~Lugi~
Photobucket

Take a break! woohoo, lesson ended, time for us to FLY~
Photobucket

Demonstrating how to get up when you fall. Lol. i always believe, don be afraid to fall, or u'll never learn. this applies to cycling, blading, iceskating etc..No pain no gain. lol.
Photobucket

Richard lied to us & brought us to the SUMMIT!!!! ALL THE WAY UP!!! bear in mind we were beginners with just 3 hours of ski lesson while hes already an average snowboarder.. He told us it was juz 100m & pointed to a spot at the high hills where we could see. It seems scary but i convinced diana to try. Later did we realise.. it's 5-6 times HIGHER & LONGER den wat he told us.. it was the SUMMIT! faint.. the chairlift itself took at least 10-15mins!! I almost fainted, diana literally died. lol. I forgot to mention before this, we saw the paramedics bringing down the casualties,at least 4 times, with blankets covered OVER them on a snow ski...Don ask me what happened,might be hypothemia, might be............. U can make a guess.. It certainly doesnt help to make us feel comfortable... all i can think is... HONG GAN LIAO!!

Desperately trying to make ourselves feel better by taking photos..lol
Photobucket

All ready to ski down(ya rite..)
Photobucket

Well, i was still feeling ok cos afterall, i m talented. lol. But diana....couldnt get her to move down man.... was practically walking. no, slower den walking, but i don blame her.. its realli dangerous, without knowing the exact technique to slow down. U could just fly off the mountains & be 1 of those being on the snowski....

See the peak here, its not even the 100m that i m refering to...
Photobucket

Grp pics..
Photobucket

Isnt she cute?!?!?
Photobucket

Oh... & not forgetting to take beautiful scenary while up there.
Photobucket

Finally came down!! went up abt 3+, came down oni at 6. hahah. u can imagine how long we were up there, encouraging diana to go down. lol.
Photobucket

See my beginner skills, taken at a beginner slope. Quite pro rite.

Now see this!! totally pro loh! lol. Zai bor!! This is taken wen we finally came down from the summit. gotta admit its realli tuff in certain parts, damn steep & the snow is too hard, ma jiam ice, cant cut snow to slow.. u can practically see mi fly & fall. lol. even gotta leopard crawl up the slope to retrieve my fallen skis. lol.



Was a realli gd experience despite everything. Lol. White xmas!! woohooo!!! =) I wanna go back there again!! Wootz!
