I've wanted to try skiing for quite awhile. I never took advantage of the lifts in Flagstaff when I attended NAU and never seemed to have the time to travel anywhere else during the winter months.
When my boyfriend mentioned a trip to Telluride, it sounded like the perfect opportunity to learn how to ski.
The next day, after stretching my sore calf muscles, I put my skis back on and made three trips down a double green run. My boyfriend was very patient with me and would wait nearby while I slowly made my way down the run. There were a few times when I would have been really frustrated (and, to be honest, scared) without him by my side.
For the record, I never fell off the ski lift! Lining up to get on the lift proved to be the trickier part for me.
My third day of skiing was spent traveling down an entire double green run. Our little group traveled higher up the mountain than the previous two days and made our way down to the bottom together. I brought up the rear, but I made it down the entire run without falling! Sure, I had to throw my arms out a few times, but I managed to remain upright. I'm pretty proud of that.
Did I mention that the ski village in Telluride is beautiful? You could ski right up to the hotel, which was pretty awesome.
