skii trippy
I know I haven’t updated in a long time, but now is a better time then never.
So as some of you know I went on the ski trip last weekend, and I have to say those of you that didn’t go, you missed out. If you didn’t go this year I highly recommend that you should go next year.
Anyway the trip started off with a party in the Hilliard basement, everyone was getting all boozed up for the bus ride, and most were pretty drunk, I only drank 2 beers to help me sleep for the ride.
We loaded the bus at 12:00 am and was off at 1am
After 8 hours of being cramped up on that bus we finally arrived at the beautiful mount Sutton, though it wasn’t that beautiful cause there was barely any snow. The weather was so warm.
After a quick nap we got ready and suited up for the slopes…or whatever was left of them rather.
Yeah so this was my first time doing downhill anything… I had previously cross-country skied when I was in grade 8…but I don’t think it would help at all for a first time snowboarder.
I have to say after the 30 minutes I was ready to give up and never go again...ever.
But after falling 1000 times on my ass and my face I finally got the hang of it, no lessons at all… so I’m pretty proud of myself learning how to snowboard and all. Thanks a lot to Shannon and Gen for the tips of what to do. I guess the little skating I did when I was younger somewhat paid off.
After some R&R and lunch it was back to the slopes and the 2nd time was much more fun, I didn’t fall as much as I did before.
Then it was back to the chalet for dinner…and after dinner was party time. Started off with a couple of beers and “un boite chaud” then it was off to the pub. Partied the night away and then crashed early as most of us were pretty pooped.
Next morning we hit the slopes again… and it seemed like I forgot what I learned the day before… though I didn’t fall a lot, I had some pretty bad spills.
One occasion where I did a face plant and then started to slide on my stomach and straight ahead was a mother teaching her daughter to ski. All I could hear as I was falling was Shannon yelling at me “DIG YOUR BOARD INTO THE SNOW!!!” I tried that and it didn’t work, so I had to claw my hand into the snow to finally stop right in front of the family. I almost hit them but I didn’t… I said “salut” and then was one my way down.
The second occasion was when I was snowboarding with Gen, she started to slow and I fell right on top of her, I felt so bad, and what was worse was I had to push her more into the snow for me to get up off of her.
That night was the beach themed pub night and Shannon my awesome roomy had the greatest idea that I should wear her bikini… and I have to say I wish I thought of it myself cause I have to say I did look damn good in one…. Too bad I don’t know how to upload pics..
I got pretty wasted that night I though I was gonna throw up but luckily I didn’t.
Other than that the trip was awesome.
Thanks to everyone that made it awesome. My roomies Jo, Shannon and Adri. And of course the “boite chaud” group Emily, Gen, Janice and Caroline…
Thanks a lot girls you definitely know how to party…
