skiing



we went skiing a few weeks ago.  the weather was beautiful; the snow was glimmering in the sun, sweat was glistening on our brow, and the cool breeze rubbed up against our faces as we (not me), gracefully glided down the slopes.  my skiing looked a little less graceful than ryan's.

i must say that skiing in south korea is a little different than in the states.  since this entire country is crowded, you can only imagine that the slopes were packed shoulder-to-shoulder, ski-to-ski and snowboard-to-snowboard.  it was a little terrifying for me to make my way down the slopes with so many people fighting their way through the clusters of children and adults alike using a slope that is too difficult for them.  every time i made it to the bottom of the slope i would be shaking and on the verge of tears just because i was so happy to have made it down without being knocked out.

the good thing was that it is way cheaper to ski in south korea than it is in colorado, (my roots).  and we were able to rent snow pants and a ski jacket while we were there.  the total cost for our trip was $110 for two of us to ski for six hours, rent clothes, a board, and skis.  you just can't beat that.
