Skiing in Cypress!

Quan ets al Canadà i carda fred, o t'estàs a casa o en treus profit! I això hem fet avui!

Amb el salari de les dues últimes setmanes he fet una inversió que penso recuperar en forma de bons moments i diversió! M'he tret un passe de temporada per una de les estacions d'esquí properes a Vancouver, i m'he comprat uns esquís de segona mà!

Aquest cap de setmana, tenia 4 dies de festa per canvis d'horaris abans de festes al restaurant. Vaig fer una crida per veure si algú s'apuntava a venir a esquiar i he tingut la sort de que la Natalie (una esquiadora canadenca professional) s'hi ha apuntat! :)

Ha fet un dia amb molta boira, i deien les previsions que estaríem a -2ºC o -3ºC però tot i això, ens hem abrigat i ens ho hem passat d'allò més bé!

No sé si per ser la primera esquiada des de fa un any, si per la quantitat i qualitat de la neu canadenca (massa bona), per la boira i que no es veia massa per on anaves, pels esquis nous o per qualsevol altre excusa barata que se'm pugui acudir... la qüestió és que he caigut més vegades en un dia que ens els últims cinc anys junts! jajajajjaja

Tot bé, no m'he fet pas mal, he caigut sobre tou! De fet ha sigut fins i tot divertit! I segons la Natalie, si no caus mai és que no estas esquiant al teu límit i com a conseqüència no millores. Així que li farem cas i a caure s'ha dit! XD

En la meva defensa, aquí teniu dues fotos de com estaven les pistes i pels llocs que hem intentat passar!

Ens hi hem estat bona una estona, i com que a la tarda ella treballava i la boria s'ha fet molt espessa hem anat plegant. Ha estat un molt bon dia!

Un cop a Downtown, he pillat un bus i l'Skytrain carregat amb tot el material i cap a casa a descansar que dimarts pot ser que hi torni!!! :D

When you are in Canada and it is cold outside, you have two options: staying at home or take advantage of the cold like we did today!

With the salary of last two weeks I had done an investment in happiness and good moments! I got a season pass for Cypress a ski resort close to Vancouver, and I bought a pair of second hand skies.

This weekend, I had 4 days off because of some schedule changes before Cristhmass. I asked if anyone would like to join me in going to ski. And I had been lucky that Natalie (a professional Canadian skier) joined me!

It was a really foggy day and we was supposed to be at -2ºC or -3º C, but anyway we took a jacket and we had a great time!

I don't know if it was because it was the first skiing day of the year, because of the quality and quantity of Canadian snow (too good), because the fog and the fact that we barely couldn't see where we where stepping,  or any other cheap excuse that I could imagine... The fact is that I had fallen down more today, than for the last five years together. jajajjajjaaj

Everything is fine don't worry, I hadn't get hurt, I was falling on soft snow. I must admit that it was also funny! And as Natalie told me: If you don't fall down is that you are not skiing over your limits, so you will never improve. So by now on, I will start to fall down more often! :D

In my defense I will show you some pictures of where we were skiing through and in with which weather conditions were we. jejeje

We spent there a good time, and after it we left because of the fog and because Natalie was working at the afternoon. It was such a great day!

Once we get to Downtown again, I took the bus and the Skytrain charged with all the equipment and I went home to rest that maybe on Tuesday I am going there again! :D
