Today my whole school (or most of it, anyways) went skiing :D
And for once, I decided not to go snowboarding or downhill skiing.
Instead I joined the really sporty ones for traditional Norwegian cross country skiing. - Hey, before you think anything about cross country skiing; we did not run around on the flat. We walked up to a mountain top and then down again! If that doesn't sound more fun and meaningful to you than walking around on the flat with skis on, then so be it. Because it is.
It is hazardous, but when you reach the top it is all worth it. What a feeling; a feeling of pride, achievment, the feeling of setting yourself a goal, and then reaching it! The view is just an extra prize whereas the main achievement is your self-esteem.
Going down on cross country skiis was interesting. The pros had "telemark" skis. Me and Andreas were instead falling many more times than I could even count!
