:: Skiing Experience ::

~Thursday 16 th July 2009 ~
Thredbo Snow Sports School, Snowy Mountains
Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales

The day has come
to experience the skiing /
sandboarding adventure
here in winter 09
.... :)

we gathered in front of
our motel around 8 am
the temperature is -2 degree celcius
( reported by syamil, i rather believe it..)

so we travelled nearly 100 km
from cooma to arrive at snowy mountains
along with our rental equipments...

we had to pay
27 AUD per car
in order to enter the
kosciuszko national park...

the moment we arrived
at thredbo parking areas
around 10 am -
the snow start falling
selfishly..

to our dismay,
the tyre chain rented
to lock our car tyres
could not b applied...

b4 we start skiing
of course we took some pictures
near the Friday Flat MA...

just 15 minutes practising
our limited knowledges,
out of no where..
we decided to take a skiing / sandboarding lessons
from the instructor available here
at 59 AUD per person
excluding 3 of us directly from m'sia...uhuhu..

i was voluntarily assigned myself
to snap a few pictures
of these trainees
during their lesson
but also eavesdropping a lil bit
during this session
not far away....

so..
almost 1 1/2 hour later,
the trainees i mentioned earlier
look like a professional skiers
skiing down the hills at ease
by doing their v-shapes postures
nonchalantly...;)

i and k-roll
was taught by
these deliberate
professional skiers
(ronron, jufri,yoi ) afterwards..
but mastering a few tricks b4
collapsed in the turf everytime i tried..
during this enjoyable time
glad to mention : the snow falls permanently
from 2pm onwards...

lastly,
i persuaded k-roll
to ride a cable car
to a higher skiing areas
just to snap
a few beautiful pictures over there..

by switching our pakkas with
pakkas from apex & zara
coz they had the ski lesson passes
tagged in their pakkas....

we finalised
our skiing / sandboarding moments
around 4.30 pm..

but without toboggan adventures...:(
