I took a long long breath when I first saw the mountains and ski field of the Mission Ridge Winter Park.
I put my helmet, got ski boots on, take my skis and poles, and ready to get it started. It was a nice day, not so cold. I was a little bit nervous. I took a long breath again and set myself onto the conveyor. I remembered in the video, the first step of learning ski is to know the equipment on me. I walked with the skis a few minutes before I go. I looked at the ski run in front of me and my legs started shaking and I couldn’t stop them. “Come on, you can do it, Cat”, my friend tried to encourage me. Yes, it’s gonna be alright. I can do it. I made my skis like a piece of pizza and started moving down. Three, two, one, I fell down. I felt funny and couldn’t stop laughing at myself. I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t. Then my friend helped me up. The longest time I insisted was six seconds. I fell down again and again, but couldn’t stand up by myself. Like the video shows, use the poles and put forth. I struggled again, again, and again. It was weird; there wasn’t any strength in my arms. I was so tired. I lay down and tried to figure out in my head. I mean I could imagine how I supposed to stand up, but in reality I can’t. I bought a lift ticket because I thought I could at least go there once before we leave. I must be dreaming. I wasted the ticket. I mean I really wish I could get there as soon as possible, but I realized that the great wall is not built in a day. I was happy, though. It was a good start. I won’t give up!
