the ski trip

whew.....how do i start....hmm....skiing is something which requires a lot of stability and patience...and gosh...i am definitely not that....
i was thinking of skiing sometime but never thought it would be so soon....thanks to my friend for inviting me over on his departmental ski trip....the preparations for the trip started a week before....and i was desparately waiting for the 4th of march. there were a couple of things which shook me though:
1. never thought the ski boots to be so heavy...man.....i can feel the pain even now....
2. and gosh it is not as easy as you think
3. the ski poles help you balance....the reality is that i gave myself too much push...so much so that i couldn'd control my speed and landed on the snow twice....
4. the 4 and 5 year old's definitely give you complex....you are trying so hard not to fall while these kids zoom in front of you like nobody's business
5. it is exhausting and for a day or two you would for sure feel yourself skiing though you are out of it all

guys...if you really enjoy ice skating, skiing is for you...but one thing, it is easier than ice skating...that is what i have been told

a fact before i end this post, cross country skiing is the best way to burn your cals.....;-)
