Skiing at Heavenly with Carlos and Kristina.
| At last! Thanks to my good friends Carlos and Kristina, I finally get to hit the slopes on skis. Here at Heavenly I took a 2-hour course by a great instructor named Chris, who taught me how to side-step, snow plow, and turn. | Feeling confident about my newfound skiing abilities, I go up the Gunbarrel Express to meet Carlos and Kristina.... |
| ... and 10 minutes later, there's Carlos! It is definitely windier and colder up here than below, and the snow is much icier. | Carlos had his snowboard.... |
| ...while Kristina used her telemark skis, often leading the way for me down a couple of runs. | Felix, having survived his first day of skiing with no injuries, aside from a bruised lower lip (a result of one of my crashes) It was an encouraging day; felt very natural, just have to get used to some of the steeper slopes and the sheer number of skiiers sharing the slopes! |
