Snowboarding in January

Tof talked me into Skiing back in January of this year. I was kind of excited when we started out- but then things went pretty rapidly downhill there for a while! We got our equipment, got signed up for our class and everything! I had a hard time getting the friggin' boots on.... But Tof battled them into submission! Then we were waiting and I was getting SO nervous! After it was time- we went to our class, all of the 4 people in it! And we went around a couple times- well Tof went around... I fell around! I could NOT remember anything! It had been about 15 years since I'd been last! After falling repeatedly- and getting more and more aggravated, we were transferred to another class - for NEWBS! On the way there though- Tof fell and knocked his knee out of place. That was it- I'd had it! I was ready to get back in the car and call it quits! Tof would not let me! He whipped his knee back into place, stood up on it for a minute and we got to our class. Things went better from there. They taught us how to stand up, walk up hill, put skiis on and off, do the "pizza wedge" etc, etc, etc. Tof seemed like he had things well in hand, and I was doing better- but still using my bum as an Emergency brake! HAHA! In the end- I made it down the bunny hill around 5-6 times! the last time or two was even after class was over! Tof was doing really really well! He probably could have stayed in that first class and been totally fine! I was black and blue on my hips and bum for DAYS after that! Good times though! And it resulted in one of my fav. pics of Tof and me!
