2nd Day Skiing

Well, Anna and I had a great and comfortable day. My feet thanked me for not putting them into those horrid boots. We sledded a little and then walked into the village and window shopped. (The shops are all closed on Sunday!) But, today was Lily's day for adventure. She, along with Jason, Mike and Alice skied all morning. When they decided to quit, Mike had the great idea of skiing down the mountain instead of taking the ski car down. Jason had the most common sense and said, "No way!" He took the ski car down. Lily wants to tell you about her trek down the mountain, so I will let her take it from here!

hey yall! so, we were starting down the trail, and it was beautiful! it was this little narrow trail through the woods. all of the sudden, we get to this slope that had little rocks all over it! i tripped over them about twice, then decided to take my skis off and walk down the rest of the little hill. well, i got to the bottom and put my skis back on. we skied around the corner and there was a huge hill (or shall i say cliff)down the mountain!!! let me tell you, it was VERTICAL. i looked at mrs. alice and said "there is no way i'm gonna make it down that in one piece!!!" that slope was a double black diamond! i said from the beginning i was just gonna slide down on my butt! mr. mike said we should just try to ski down really, really slowly. needless to say, that didnt work. so me and mrs. alice are sliding on our butts down the first slope and all of the sudden, we see mr. mike sliding down with us. well, somehow we lost track of him and decided just to go on and try to get to the bottom. i found a soft spot of snow and started sliding down that. mrs. alice was a few yards away from me and i looked over and she was on ice! but a few seconds later, i didnt really care, because this HOT german guy came up to me! he said something in german. i think he figured out that i had no clue what he was saying. and he said in english with his cute german accent "are you okay?" i said, "i'm fine!" and he skied away. gradually, 3 or 4 more cute german guys came up to me and asked me the same thing. then, one of them sat down beside me and asked me what was wrong. i told him of how we ended up here, and he just laughed. he slid down beside me for a while and we carried on a conversation of how i ended up on this dang mountain. then i told him i was fine, and he left down the mountain on his snowboard. a few minutes later, another german guy came, and he was determined to help me. this is where the story gets interesting. of course he had a german accent, and he told me to "clip on one of my skis to my boot so i wouldnt fall." well, i thought he said "clip your sheet to your boot so you wont fall." i sat there for a minute trying to figure out what he meant by "sheet." then i thought maybe he meant my scarf. so i sat there in the snow on the middle of a huge hill, and pulled my foot to my neck and started tying the scarf around my boot. i thought "now why in the world would it help me to have my neck attached to my boot? if anything,that would make things 10 times worse!" but if you're sitting there on the side of a mountain and a hot german guy tells you to do something...you do it. he was really nice because he didn't laugh at me, but he kinda looked at me funny. then, i knew i had done something wrong. i untied the scarf from my boot, and pointed him in mrs. alices direction. so he went over and told her to "clip the SKI to her boot." i felt so dumb. when he finally saw that i had everything straight (my scarf on my neck, and my ski clipped on my boot) he skied down the mountain. it took about 2 hours to get the rest of the way down without killing ourselves!!! and on top of that, we had to carry our skis. i am so sore! but we finally made it down, and in one piece!

Well, that is Lily's story and she is stickin' to it! We will definately post pictures tomorrow. It is about midnight here, so we are going to try to get some sleep.

Love to all!
