There are many first encounters - Kiss , heart break !
But this post is about my first ski encounter.....
The day started by waking up early morning on a sunday - 5.30 am ! Its a bit too early but i wanted to catch the first Shinkansen train scheduled to departure at 6.08 am !
Reached Echigo Yuzawa Station at around 10.30 am , yes yes..i missed the first train but i could catch up with 8.30 am train !
Intention was to visit Naeba - but since i could not get hotel accomodation decided to ski in and around Echigo Yuzawa!
I took a 3 hour Ski-School training before getting ready for a slope competition !
Thankfully the trainer gave me full attention without giving up on me !
At some point i almost lost the confidence , ski-equipments itself was so heavy , but perhaps because of my weight i could balance after a while after falling down many times !
My First Fall !
It was fun- i always believe that when you fall down and then get up - you become more stronger !

I set on a goal to at least getting a long run down the small slope, so I got up every time I fall, take off the gear and walk back up carrying my gear and then ski down the slope..i tried many times but today i could successfully ski down a slope only for two times , which i feel is great for a person like me who is new to the whole season perhaps ! Infact first of all it took a lot of time for me to get adjusted to the weather in Tokyo ..its almost after 3 months after the snow season began that i decided for this Ski!
Finally Managed to Get up !
Law of momentum : Greater the momentum and velocity greater is the chance of accident ! Lesser the Body Mass , grater chance to Balance !
I took almost five minutes, just to get myself up the first time I made myself fall down.
Thankfully the Sun was clear in the morning - today was not that cold ! But there was snow everywhere and
At some places, the snow accumulated as high as two - three meters.
But it was a wonder ful mis-adventure i would say !
A clear sun ..thankfully it was not very Cold !
The view along the way was just breathtaking -Its awesome amazing and a little bit scary !
The next thing that i want to explore is ski down a steep slope !
Although i was falling in a style - my body is asking me to give it some time.

It took almost 5 -10 minutes for me to get up from a stationary lying down mode/position every time i fell...i enjoyed falling down , if i remember i fell and hit 3 people lolzz.... but you know what my body mass is so low that my fall never end up creating an accident to anybody out there , we just laughed it off , and every time i fell someone came around to help me get up .
I fell down every 2 meters.

The view along the way was just breathtaking -Its awesome amazing and a little bit scary !
No better words to describe it, but simple amazing. Pictures says it all !
Every part of my Body is aching now and iam sure i will sleep straight away the moment i hit the Bed ! A good night to all my followers !
The roof of the cars are covered with layers of snow greater than 100 centimeters...No i was not measuring ....but measuring things that way has become my Habit ! I just love the SNOW !
