Honestly, I did not have many moments over Christmas break. I very rarely got off my couch. I went skiing twice and snowboarding once. I have to say though, my memorable moment was my first time skiing:
A friend and I decided to go out to Lake Louis one thursday afternoon. I haven't been skiing in eleven months so it was pretty fun. She was a few levels lower then me so one run we decided to go our separate ways. Se went down the main run and I went down a double black run with moguls. It turns out it was really icy and rocky. I saw a little path in the trees and whispered "YOLO," to myself and headed down the little path. Turns out it was not a run. It was a stupid person trying to make a new tree run. Surprisingly I did not fall heading down the steep slope until i tripped on a tree root. I fell into power waist deep and got stuck. At this moment, I knew I screwed up. I sat in the powder for about 10 minutes trying to call me friend. I was freezing, terrified and num everywhere. My friend was not going to answer. I could not move. This moment was probably one of my scariest skiing moment of my life. I squirmed around on the snow for over an hour until I could reach the tree root I dug myself out a hiked until I found the route out. It was fun but scary.
