CLUB . . . You're wrong and you don't even know it !

Once again I awoke late and everyone else had already left for the day. I walked into town to collect my board and get in some practice on what Sebastian had taught me the day before.

Stepping out the Pleney cable car I decided to begin my practice on the small nursery slope. Once again it was filled with children but by now I was immune to embarrassment of any kind.

My first pleasant surprise came at the top of the slope when I realised I was able to put my board on without sitting down in the snow which was far less tiring than the method I had been using previously.

My first run down the slope was a bit of a disaster, I paid no attention to the things I'd learnt the day before and promptly fell over after just 10 metres.

After, quite, a few more runs though things were beginning to come together. Each time I went down I would specifically try to do one thing as I had been told, first of all it was putting the weight on the correct foot, then avoiding looking at my feet and looking where I was going instead and finally remembering to not fall over.

The slope had a travellator type thing to take you to the top of it and being as it was probably only 100M or so long and didn't take very long at all to get down I was using the travellator quite a lot. After a while I noticed all the children had left and I was the only person on the slope. The travellator attendant lady kept giving me big encouraging smiles when I reached the top which was nice.

Eventually the travellator attendant switched the travellator off and went home so I went up to one of the blue runs we tried yesterday and had a crack at it on my own. Amazingly I didn't fall over once and things seemed like they were almost doing what I wanted them to. I immediately left the slope and went home since I didn't want to ruin this positive mood with any fatal crashes.
