My skiing experience


This is my 4th ski experience and while I have had ski lessons and ski camps before, I would like to highlight that the skiing experience is alot like what life throws at you. Firstly, one must invest in the equipment like boots, skis, clothes and of course training. Next, there will be teachers who will guide you along the way. You make mistakes, and after a number of classes, you are on your own. Its alot like life, when you are young, your parents feed you, house you, take care of your educational emotional and spiritual needs training you and providing you for the day you are ready to face the world.

    Once you have acquired the basic skills, you set out, and take on the pistes. There are beginner, intermediate and expert pistes (ski runs), you try according to your confidence, ability level and guts. Its the same with life. You ski down the slopes. make S turns, know when you slow or speed up and fall down sometimes. The better skiiers are the ones who are more resilient and will pick themselves up after a fall. You will only learn more about yourself after a setback, so try out more and more challenging courses. Do remember to help the less fortunate along the way. That is what life should be. 

Seize the day.
