practice makes perfect


Since we went skiing in the Alps our generous friend proposed us if we want to spend some weekends there again we may do so. He even gave us the flat keys. We have already chosen 2 consecutive weekends to at least unwind and get out from the normal circulation work, traffic, school, pollution and everything that is common. These videos were taken last week and this time I did not take lessons from ESF because I wanted to try the ski trail with my Papa. We went skiing practically together and I really enjoyed it because I felt like I am a professional skier. We even took the Aerial lift (remontées mécaniques) platter lift (tire fesse) rope tow (un cable en mouvement que l'on tient à la main chairlift télésiège). I had fun taking those lifts all by myself, of course my Papa was just behind me. I have seen a lot of people up there skiing very well, doing the slalom, jumping with their snowboards and that encourages me more. I would like to thank my Papa for teaching me good techniques especially for being patient with me all the time. If you will see I am in front of Papa who is wearing a red jacket. The video may seem blurb and I just hope that you will not have headaches after watching it :D ! I know how difficult to take a video with digital camera. How I wish we have the video camera.


As for Mom, she just went strolling with Mayumi, taking pictures and videos of us. I know my Mom would really like to ski but she couldn't because of her knee problem. Anyhow, she keeps repeating that she is contented to see the progress in me. Mayumi by the way, did enjoy sliding in the snow though we rented a slide (luge) for her but she was not very enthusiast of using it. We are in fact practicing my skills before we head off to Meribel this coming school break on February. I am really impatient about that. I am sure that would be another unforgettable experience for a growing kids like us who try to explore. Until next time friends. Have a nice day to all !
