A trip to remember

So the past weekend I went for a ski trip to Killington mt in Vermont. It was a fun filled three day getaway which I almost missed. I signed up for a one day package where I was given basic lessons and a complete equipment rental. After the basic training which lasted around 3 hrs, the overconfident sportsaholic that I am, I headed out to the hill meant for experienced Skiiers, and the next thing I knew I was falling all over the place. with every fall my heavy metal boots would hurt my leg, my five foot ski would twist my feet and the snow would seep into my clothing and by the time I got to the foot of the hill I was totally exhausted. I was reminded of one of my friends saying.."eehmm ahmm onnum mudiyale" The worst part of my experience was watching in awe, young 2 and 3 year old kids ski down the hill without even a pole as I was tumbling all over the place. I guess training at such a young age is one reason why this country produces phenomenal athletes.
But anyway all that hasnt dettered my spirit as I have decided to head to Aspen next season in my quest to become an accomplished skier ;).

"Persistence is the twin sibling of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time."

Aspen.. here I come..
