Mt Buller Trip

Winter! finally! Finally experienced winter in my life! and how good it was! yeah! it was damn good!

It was actually my first time playing around with snow. This time, I went to Mt. Buller!

Let’s express it based on pictures yeah!?

On the way up the hill, we had signs on SNOW! wuhu!

However, it wasnt cold for that particular day! it was so hot! about 12 degrees.. IMG_1709

making it worst was the amount of people up on the hill! there was heaps of them!

First of all, we had our feet measured for the correct boot size.

IMG_1711

Mind you, this is now my leg, it was my sisters. its size 6 okay? get it? I’m size 10..

 IMG_1713

And here it was! my ultimate boot! looking good so far! right?

of course it does.. but hold on..

 

IMG_1715 We were all so hyped up about skiing! seriously! we even practiced on Wii!

IMG_1716

We soon geared up..

 IMG_1718

and went off for our practice sessions..  IMG_1719 and to tell you, it wasnt easy at all!

 IMG_1721  IMG_1723

This is the result of super noob. I couldnt get my balance and i feel flat on the ice.. IMG_1724

with my knee still recovering.. I couldnt get myself up.

Now the fun starts to fade.

I started to know the dangers of skiing..  IMG_1725

What more, I was on flat ground, not even on the slops.

I was going to go through time of hell. and yeah! I did. 

 IMG_1727 

Just look at the amount of people behind me. The hill was practically full!

  IMG_1730 heard of the holden express?

its a chair lift that brings us up to the mountain.

After our two hour intense training we were told to just practice our new skills at the gradual slopes..

but guess what…

we went straight UP!

 IMG_1732

Up to the mountain, where gradients of slopes were unimaginable.  IMG_1733 That was the peak behind me, and yeah! it was so high!

 

IMG_1734

With the skii’s, I looked even taller…

When we were up there,

we started to get hungry, seriously hungry.

 

   To our surprise, up the hill, the snow was much nicer and smoother, that’s when more problems started for my sister and me. IMG_1743

Know how we have parking lots? This is Ski lots. Where we park our skii’s when we are not using them.. IMG_1746I had a chance to play snow ball! =D had a head shot on my brother! wuhu!

 

During lunch, we had some discussions about how to ski well, I had a more basic idea and probably gained some idea.

As some saying goes, saying it is easy, performing it is hard.

Yes, I believed that happened to me!

After lunch, we got on our ski’s again and went down the hill, thats when I had like DAMN many falls and rolled down the hill.   IMG_1750 IMG_1751

Fall no 10… IMG_1752  IMG_1754

Stood up, and FELL AGAIN!!

 IMG_1755

Trying to put in my Ski’s and

 

Fell AGAIN!

 IMG_1756

FAll no 13.

 

This was the part where it was too steep for us, that we decided to just walk down..  IMG_1759Here you go,  IMG_1760Sister just pushed herself and she slide all the way down.

It was amazing that other people just flew down the slope and they could even brake in time!

 

This one was funny, IMG_1762

You see this T bar thingy ?

It’s like a chair lift, something similar, but this, you just stand there and get pulled forward. where a bar will go behind your bum and pull u up,

as beginners, we were so happy to go up, but… for me.. something happened..

 IMG_1763  See the snow ramp behind my brother? It was the end of the Tbar pulley thing. And guess what!

I WENT INTO IT!!!!

AMBARSSINGLY i couldnt turn to the direction i was suppose to go,

I Went straight towards it.

and fell!

 

we then ski-ed down till the bottom and as soon as we were down there, it was time to go back.=(

      IMG_1772

Upon returning the equipment, I was seriously TIRED!

I didn’t get much sleep the day before and I skiied the whole day!IMG_1773

and what was worst, since i was standing at one spot to rest, my siblings nicely placed their skiis on me to keep an eye on. What a bully!

  

We had some spear time before heading back, and we took some group pictures, and thats when we met this guy who was so glad to be asked to take pictures and it turned out that he was "good” in taking it.   IMG_1778

After 11 shots, we finally got a nice picture. Thanks!=D IMG_1779

cant wait for the next winter..

Will update more.

 

Cheers!
