Tahoe Fun-2

As I had promised to myself, here's the secod part to my Tahoe fun blog..the one where I talk about my actual trip. I went with a bunch of friends all of whom I did not know bar one. We all knew this mutual friend, whom at that time, I barely even knew but then I was bored and I really wanted to go to Tahoe and my friend convinced me that it would be fun.

Day 1: Got up bright and early next morning for my first skiing experience. Woohoo! Alrite..I was gonna have somme fuun. So lots of enthusiasm and just a bit of nervousness. But being the Christmas weekend, there was a huge crowd everywhere we went and we had to wait in the line for about two and a half hours, and I could see my enthusiasm dwindling, but then we finally got to where the ski shoes were..and it was pretty slim pickings, I tell you. Well, got the shoes on, one foot and many hands at a time (:D)..sheesh, have you ever tried on those shoes? they are so hard to get on and they weigh a ton! I had such a hard time balancing and I hadn't even stepped out on the snow yet. Yikes! I was like one of those air puppet-balloons that you normally see at the car dealers...the ones that keep bending over.

Anyways, I am digressing..so we finally hit the slopes and it was soo much fun. I just loved it...ofcourse I sucked at it, being my first time n all, but still, it was great! After many tumbles and several dents to my pride later, I finally learned how to stop and even ski a bit. Our instructor was this 80 year old lady, totally fit and so full of energy, she put me to shame. Wow, unbelievable lady.

Day 2: We felt we hadn't had our fill of snow yet so we decided to stay back one more day. And this time, we tried Snow Mobiling. Wow. It was just, for the lack of a better word, great. To feel the wind on your face, see the scenery rush past you..it felt good. Altogether, a very nice trip. Lots of first time experiences for me.
. First time going on a trip where the majority of the group were complete strangers, only to make new friends.

Oh, it is so nice to just visit a place that has snow.
