hello world! so much has happened, and it is unfortunate that i don't have a camera to document everything! i now rely on the power of memory and other people's trigger happy moods.
just a snippet of what's to come:
fyi: types of slopes for skiing/snowboarding
Green colour tagged slopes: THEY SAY IT'S EASY
Blue: YOU CAN'T SEE THE SLOPE UNTIL YOU'RE AT THE EDGE OF IT:
Black: NO GOING BACK NOW, ONE WAY ONLY (and that's down)
Black Diamond: MOM SAYS THAT KIDS CAN'T FLY, SO I'M HOPING YOU KNOW HOW TO LAND WITHOUT BREAKING ANY ESSENTIAL-TO-LIVING BONES
Double Black Diamond: I TOLD YOU TO AVOID THAT TREE, AND YES, THOSE THINGS JUTTING OUT OF THE SNOW WERE ROCKS. NOW WHERE'S THE CLOSEST HOSPITAL?
and there we were, at the top of the mountain going,
it turned out to be a Black (thankfully not diamond) route! the damn thing did say blue, but i think we missed the turn. oh yes, good times.
there i am tumbling/sliding down the face of the mountain, losing one ski waaay up there and the other half way down the tumble. as charlene (my cousin) would put it, i slid a good 40 feet before coming to a stop.
what was i thinking as i was tumbling?
please please PLEASE, don't break anything.
what was i thinking as i was tumbling some more?
if i made myself into a starfish, would it help?
what was i thinking as i was sliding?
i wonder if i can slide all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
what was i thinking as i was sliding some more?
as long as i avoid the trees, it's all good.
what was i thinking as i was sliding a little more?
how long would it be before i come to a stop...
what was i thinking as i was slowing down?
(looking at the blue sky) i wonder if i'm at the bottom of the mountain...
what was my reaction when i finally stopped?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA.
"oh yeah, she's alright." says char.
p/s: i had a wonderful birthday week. thanks to ryan, jo, charlene and colin (who flew in from toronto!) hugs to all. to those who tried to call me/text me over my birthday, i'm sorry my phone was wonky. and i am also sorry for being the dipshit who did not charge the phone. i was ohsobrilliant to have not brought my charger with me on the trip. heh. loves.
