First skiing trip ever!

Was so looking forward to the skiing trip, which was on the 24th Jan. It was postponed so many times! Had been hearing new that weather wasn too good and that roads were closed. Was kinda worried bout it in the beginning, but a few of us prayed for good weather and a safe journey and the weather turned out to be perfect, even better than what we expected! :) was really so so happy and excited! :)

Left from Rottenrow East at 6.30 am! There were 32 of us in total! :) The journey took almost 3 hours and as usual, i was carsick! Managed to tahan all the way until we almost reached, when i threw up in the toilet at the back of the bus! :S But felt so much better after that.. We stopped at the place where we got out skiing and snow boarding equipment. Some of them rented the one-piece ski outfit! :) On the way to the mountain, and in the bus, we saw many Siberian Huskies! They were so so beautiful! :) Apparently there was a sledge race competition held in Aviemore this year!




Me in my skiis!! :P



Finally we reached the foot of the mountain! We had an instructor, and his name was Brian. After more than 2 hours of teaching us how to ski, he let us go off on our own. We took the train up to the top of the mountain, where we found that we couldn't really ski up there, as we were amatuers :P So we came back down and skiied there instead!


All of us outside the restaurant on the top of the mountain!




Me and Mr Chew!



Back at the foot of the mountain, I fell so so many times again and again, and had so much trouble trying to stand back up and to put on the skiis! They were so so heavy! :P But it was so much fun, the snow was lovely and it was white everywhere! The skies were so so clear and the scenery was really beautiful! I was so grateful for the great weather and that everyone was having such a good time! :)



We're skiing!! yay!! :)

On the way back, was so reluctant to leave. hehe!
