I am no...Hi new follower and found you from FYBF :)<br />I am not a huge skier but my husband is big into Snowboarding. we have just booked our trip to the snow for next year. It will be lovely for the girls to make snow angels and snow man and snow balls. They have never seen the snow before. <br />Our friend came to Canada (many years ago) when we were working there are backpackers and she when down the first slope for the first time skiing in her life and she ripped her tendon and had to get ski patrol to take her down! Can be scary stuff!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332340100487014483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-12910846531187815212011-06-17T17:18:20.011+10:002011-06-17T17:18:20.011+10:00Ha ha, this is hilarious!
When I was fifteen, we ...Ha ha, this is hilarious!<br /><br />When I was fifteen, we too talk a school trip to Thredbo. But it was a hot day (go figure) and we got bored quickly with the instructor and decided we knew what we were doing.<br />As I came down the beginners ramp (and it was the beginners ramp), I realised I had no idea now to stop, and was faced with the prospect of crashing into a group of small children, or a group of ski intructors. I chose the latter, who then asked me if I had had lesson.<br /><br />I gave up after that and went and made snow men.EssentiallyJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372695554793237026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-91912170168024579762011-06-17T14:36:31.808+10:002011-06-17T14:36:31.808+10:00I'm with Leanne, hilarious.
