First ski lesson
–          20-01-15

We start our class today with a quick ski wax lesson. We learn the basics for waxing and wax our ski’s for the first time. We undo them of the storage wax and wax them for use. Now I know why our first time skiing near Hovden didn’t work so well. It wasn’t only our lack of ski skills that made it hard to ski, but also the storage wax.

We practiced on a flat area and did some exercise to get used to the ski’s. We were standing in a circle and had fun doing the exercise and see each other struggling with it. We played around in an area with some little hills and got instructions about the basics of skiing: how to put on your ski’s properly, how to move forwards, how to get up hill and how you go down. At the end we did a little race in groups.

I’m not comfortable with the ski’s yet, but it was fun and I learned a lot about skiing today.
