Balkhis - Vision For Success

Skiing Day 2 at Ober Gatlinburg Tennessee

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Today we went back on the slope, but I decided to Ski. At first I had a hard time, but I got the concept, and I did well. I went down the Big Blue trail which is the second hardest out of all the slopes, and I did well. There were several kids on snowboard who did not know what they were doing. One of those kid fell right in front of me. So I had to make a sharp turn due to which I lost control and I fell on my face. I have abrasion on my face and a cut on my leg. That was a pretty hard fall. You will see in pictures. But after that fall I became a pro lol. I went down hard slopes and all. I had one heck of a time skiing. I am going to say one thing that snowboard falls are much easier, but it is harder to stay up with a snowboard. It is easier to stay up with Ski, but ski falls are real bad.

Anyways I am not going to ramble more check out the pictures and enjoy. I will post more pictures from the knife shop hopefully soon.

The weather looks perfect! I’ve never tried skiing, which do you prefer more?

Is it really cheap to ski over there?

Umm we paid $85 for two day ski lift pass and 20$ for rentals… So it is cheap to ski. The thing that will get you is staying in the hotel and other stuff.

The harder you fall and rebounce fast is a skill in life, ever falling and get back again will make you more stronger than ever

That is quite a profound thing that you said here, which applies to life and its problems as well, not just skiing!

Yeah I am hoping to be back from school in a few hours and then I will try to get the knife shop pictures sorted out. It is a big pain to get pictures from people as some pictures I didn’t take from my camera. Sorry to keep you guys waiting.

We can learn nothing without falling. At least the wound is not that obvious on your face. Take a good rest and enjoy max.
