They Are The Amateur Skiers

After the mountain view ride, it was time for the the youngsters to get ready.. in fact, they were quite excited about their first time skiing experience...with our tour guide assistance on their measurement and skiing equipment, they were finally all set to go... their first skiing in real snow!

they got style!!
slowly they "prodded" into the snow...

and awaiting for their "skiing tutors"

the tutors were the tour guides.. hahahaa....

while they were listening intently,
I was hovering nearby to capture some shots...

I noticed that most of them were youngsters...
older people like me doesn't ski, ok.....

ok, one is set to start on his own now...

here he goesssss......

another one coming along......

he looked so steady... hehehe....

fuuyohh...doesn't he look "pro?"

oooppsss...too fast.... no brakeeee.....

he was laughing so hard that he couldn't get up....

there... he is alright..eh!!!

off they ski-ed again.... never say die....

as for the youngest one...
she took no chances and did it slow...

after some falling down here and there
both of them played safe by skiing near the net....
at least it helped to break their fall... hahahaa....

sk: how i wish i were young again to enjoy the skiing.. i dont need to ski cos i have done so by falling off a day earlier!

Twilight said...

Why are you complaining you are not young blah blah blah!!?? Age is just a number but your heart is still so young and happy! The Korean guys ski so well without using the stick at all...down from mountain slopes. I saw them ski at night as there would be lesser people. So fun!!

CathJ said...

wenn said...

doc said...

i'd probably not ski as well, since i can't even rollerskate on level ground. i fear injury as the joints/bones aren't as strong as they used to be.

Pete said...

Hey, skiing is fun!

Ginny said...

Glad you took pictures, what fun! But only for the young ones! Were they ever able to go any distance?

The Blonde Duck said...

Filip Demuinck said...

Tekkaus said...

Do kimchi...now skiing! :D Look at your children...they are really loving every single moment of it.

suituapui said...

You didn't try? Did you like the snow? Cold, wet and slippery?

Alice Law said...

You didn't try this, it should be really fun!^-^

Cheryl said...

My two youngest children learned to ski (well, we live only a couple of hours from ski country here in Maine)! We have such a long winter that they figured they might as well enjoy it by learning to ski. It is very expensive though...It looks like you all had a fun experience with the skis! How did they do on the trails? Me, I would not be able to even stand up on skis! I have no desire to try it. I will stick to snowshoes.

claire said...

iamthewitch said...

Reminds me of my skiiing experience back in Beijing... quite a dangerous sport if not careful.. coz I met with an accident back then.. but playing at the flat area should be very safe..
