Day 3

05.02.2020 Day 3

We started tht day with the movie Team of uia visiting us. So we had to Show them our skills. We warmed up a bit and did some Telemark exercises. It was quite nice tro ractice the technique again but I didn´t liked the fact that we could not just do what we actually planned like going on a trip. we Kind of were stucked bcs of the movie Team. after they filmed us with the exercises we had to do a race threw some oftrack sections as well. It was quite funny but my grp+oup was happy when they finally decided we are done with filming. I think it would have been nicer if they would have Joint directly the first day so we could have ust done our program and they could have made their Video out of that.

After we finally were allowed to go on we decied to go on a smal tour/track and also went a bit off track. Because our Group was so fast and arrived quite early at the lunch place Sindra gave us the exercise to build some emergency shelters. therefore we had to build big snowballs and make them as big as we can. then you place them in a half circle and build a wall with them. the half circle has to be that big that everybody of the Group fits into the shelter. if the walls are high enought we placed our skis on top and covered them with more snow blocks. in the end we filled the holes and were done quite fast. that was a really nice Task and showed us how to build a fast and efective shelter in emergency situations. after we had our lunchbreak and builded shelters, finally the other Group came as well. but we decided to go on a big top tour. so everybody that wanted to join in our Group went on that hike. it was quite steep at some Points and also in the end really icy and less snow. But we were all more then proud when we arrived at the top! I really loved that Sindra believed in us that we can do it and that the hole Team was so into achevieng it so we just made it without anybody thnking About quitting! the view was amazing! I think to get on that top on the third day of Standing on skiies was amazing!

But how hard the way up was with the really steep sections we were all quite affrai of the Downhill sections. Because i was quite stressed About it i totally forgot how it feels to break with your edges so i fell directly two times to at least try to stop. But then i Finally got the Feelings of the skies back and managed to get down super confidence (so i think i got that “click-moment” and remembered how to ski). fter that i was really confidence skiing Downhill and i had a lot of fun with it!

When we arrived back at the parking we were all totally tired but so proud so we were all happy and enjoyed the day a lot !

I really enjoyed the day espatially that we learned how to build an emergency shelter (because i think ist important to build that stuff just as a practice so you are actually prepaired in an emergency Situation! But my highlight of the day was defenitly the top tur ! I was really proud and haven´t thought that we can acheave something like that on day 3!
