Today I went SKIING for the first time! I’ve lived here for a few years but, today is my first time SKIING .Usually Canadian people go skiing since they were babies and they’re probably a PRO by now! But it is never too late for you to start skiing!
The ski boots are so hard that you will feel like a penguin when you walk! When you rent the boots, there will be a number and letter behind your ski boots. That’s the place on the shelf where you put it back. My number and letter was: B21.
In skiing, levels are also in colors too! but there’s more levels in colors than numbers because in colors there’s
👇
- Green 🍀
- Blue 🌊
- (not on mt. Seymour) Red 🍓
here comes the all-black levels
- Black ⬛
- Black DIAMOND ⬛♦️
- Double black ⬛⬛
- Double black DIAMOND ⬛⬛♦️
- Triple black ⬛⬛⬛
- TRIPLE BLACK DIAMOND ⬛⬛⬛♦️🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯(its like this steep ⤵️)
well that’s how many BLACKS there are. In numbers, there’s not so much levels so here are the NUMBER-LEVELS
- Lvl. 1
- Lvl. 2
- Lvl. 3
- Lvl. 4
- Lvl. 5
And that was it, not so much levels right? Now, let’s go skiing!
So before going on slopes I practiced walking on ONE ski and the other foot to push! After that, we put on two skis and went up a small slope that’s this steep ↘️ and when we go down, you have to put your hands on your knees like this, 👐 on your👖easy!, and if you want to stop or slow down, do a triangle with your skis and people call it PIZZA🍕And if you want to go faster, make you skis parallel and look up and you still need your hands on your knees and people call it french fries🍟
and if you want to turn right, look right and put pressure on your left foot and if you want to turn left, look left and pressure on your right foot like this
see? in the left side picture, It’s saying that you look where you going and push on the other leg. And the other picture is the turning poses. 🔀🔄🔃🔁
and after that we went down a way bigger slope that has a magic carpet next to the bunny hill. And it’s not like a flying one but it looks like a black line but moves. So just imagine you standing on a wide black line, which is pretty big and it moves. And a bunch of other people are on there too. And if somebody falls- (because it’s pretty slippery) so if somebody fell the whole thing would freeze or you can call it stop, almost everyone slips because it’s moving slowly and it stops in the middle?
And NOW the fun part, when going back to where we started. I didn’t do anything just my teacher grabbed a pole ( a stick ) and I hold the end of it. My teacher would go zooming fast pulling me there. All I did was stand still and the stick will pull me home!
