Learning to ski in Leitariegos, Leon




So after a year where I have picked every expensive hobby I could imagine, I am finishing off my year away by learning to ski.
A no better time to head to the mountains that when we are going through a wave of Siberian weather. Why do we do this? A recurrent question this year, but could not help to wonder while I was waiting for the Maria and Pablo in the street and it was -6 degrees.
On our way to the ski resort we went down a valley that was at -17 degrees!!!
As always I have struggled with this skiing thing, I am so clumpsy, but I am hoping that next weekend we will go again, and I will take another lesson and I should improve a bit.
One thing that drives me absolutely potty is to see the 4 year olds skiing better than me...then again anyone does it better than me!!!
Anyway, at least I will be topping up my tan doing this

    Hey don't feel down by seeing people who are younger to you skiing better than you. It happens everywhere. I have seen people in 40's learning skiing in many top ski resorts. I appreciate you for learning skiing.

    Hello to both.
    Thanks for your comments.
    anthony, I know I should not feel bad, but I am so clumpsy, and I am the worst in the whole resort...but I guess I will have to live with it

    Practice makes perfect, being clumpsy is not a excuse. If you like and enjoying skiing dont look down on yourself.

    These are all the beautiful pictures of snow-falling and with all the frosted trees and snow-capped mountainous hills and all the snow-covered roads and all the cool and fresh stormy and cool breezes. That is all fascinated and very adorable.
