Page 1 of 2 On Wednesday we went skiing and it was great fun and exercise. When I went for my first time in Melbourne, I could only go straight and fall to stop. Now I can turn and slow down to a stop!
We went to Brighton to do our skiing as it was cheaper to do the basic courses as we were all beginners. We go there and prepared our ski equipment and tags. 
Before we started to ski, Elder Tuckett gave us a quick lesson on slowing down, stopping, and turning. Throughout the lesson, he had apparently taught us the wrong way of turning and we didn't know until we started of unto the basic courses.  On the basic course, it is a slope long enough for us to practice our turning and stopping which we went around a few times. I fell over a couple of times and Villy also fell over; especially on the last run down before lunch he couldn't turn or stop on time and fell into a small ditch. Luckily he didn't hit the tree though.
