Step 3 : Practice skiing But!! I hit the major obstucle...... He told me how to shift the balance and how and when to use the poles so I tried to copy him but couldn't. |
I did my best and got better and better about 30 minutes in. He saw me doing it and said,"You completely got the technique that even locals take 5-10 years to master. You're extraordinary." I thought "He is just too nice !!" I knew he flatters the guests but felt so happy. |
90 minutes went past very quickly and I completed the lesson. I enjoyed not only skiing but talking with him but at the same time I was tired from my 1st cross- country skiing experience. |
