ski holidays during winter breaks are probably one of my favourite trips
especially when there’s a big group of people. skiing all day, playing cards and sitting by the fireplace in the evening…
even though I was born in the summer I think my favorite weather is snowy mountain weather
this year we planned an impromptu trip to france just before the ski season ends
this is our first time skiing in France, and this place called Les 3 Valees is apparently the largest skiing area of the world
we just arrived at the hotel, and before we even got in our room
we told them we wanted to go skiing asap with an instructor who can show us the slopes
they probably think we’re mad, they were asking us if we wanted to eat lunch
we got in our room changes in to our skiing gear ready to take our lesson
the slopes are right next to our room, it’s incredibly nice, but leaves our room a bit underground as you can see
what are we doing mom?
should I imitate that guy with no manners? what's his name?
she’s talking about Kerimcan
we just chose a wine, we’re in Courchevel. The wine is a Bourgogne one, from Cote de Nuits area.
I’m super tired, I can fall asleep, but my mom is forcing me to dinner
This area consists of 3 valleys, after discovering the area we’re staying at the first day,
we wanted to see the other two on our second day with our instructor
Here I’m talking about how nice it is to ski here, how wide the slopes are, how nice the weather is, (thinking you can hear my voice)
Skiing is really a different feeling, makes you feel free. It’s kind of like meditating, you forget everything.
This is our instructor Allen. Here he’s showing us the large pipes around the slopes.
When there’s heavy snow this remote technique uses gas to trigger avalanches to open ski slopes far more quickly . Very high tech.
in the afternoon Allen tricked us to skiing in a black area,
which was very steep and he only told us it was a black route at the end!
I can ski, but I didn’t think I was good enough to finish a black route without falling, so it was a very happy moment
Maybe because of the confidence from finishing a black route, or maybe because of the evil eyes, I’m not sure,
because in a little bit I will fall
Yes, I fell really bad.
I never felt such pain in my life, at first I thought I broke my knee
In fact I started punching the ground like a soccer player who has fallen
A lot of people stopped and asked if I was ok
Our instructor Allen had gone all the way down and came back up just for me
After the pain had gone down a bit, I slowly got up
And I slowly went down the hill, Allen called a car to take me to see a physiotherapist
I was crying silently during this whole trip behind my goggles and the sponge was getting really wet and cold,
which was also annoying me.
I’m laughing right now but at the time I was in a lot of pain.
On the other hand I’m sad because I’m afraid I won’t be able to ski the rest of the holiday
Anyways the physiotherapist said I broke a fiver and definitely shouldn’t ski the next day.
I can try skiing later depending on how I feel. She made me get a knee pad from the pharmacy.
You really understand health is the most important thing at times like this
I gave myself over to eating and painkillers that night
