It is my first time to do snow skiing at breckenridge@ Colorado. Although it was only -11C and heavy snow there, Hsuan's cousin took us to the breckenridge with her lovely dog, juggle. I even can't believe that I can survive in such a cold weather.
For me, snow skiing is not as difficult as ice skiing. I fell down several times when learning ice skiing at young ages. But for snow skiing, I did well and felt confident. At first, the coach taught us
how to wear shoes, how to keep balance on the snow and how to stand with one leg. After that, we learned how to stop and to turn smoothly. I was so excited and tried several times. I think it is more fun then surfing becuase I do not need to wait for proper wave to surf for a long time(just in case in Taiwan). Even though I got muscular pains and tired, I still looked forward to next trip of snow skiiing.
