Skiing at Breckenridge. Despite having never skiied before, I decided to try out a green slope. I did well at first, but I was amazed at how quickly I gained speed. That and not knowing how to stand back up after falling down made things difficult. Fell down 7 or 8 times on my way down the hill.

After my first green slope, I took some lessons with Hilarie. Lessons were pretty basic, but I learned some important things like better posture, how to get back up, herringbone, and sidestepping.

Second time on a green slope at Breck. After taking lessons and going on the slope once, I was much more confident and prepared. I still fell down twice despite using the wedge on most of the run, but it was a marked improvement. Hope I can ski again soon and become less of a novice.
