This past saturday I had the opportunity to trying skiing. A guy I met this past summer through a common friend skis and got a hold of me to come out to try it. It was a great fundraiser put on by the Regina Adaptive ski program out at Mission Ridge (Fort Qu'appelle). A full days worth of fun, food and great weather. I really enjoyed being back on the hill learning how to ski sitting down. Very different view! I had some wonderful help from the organizers and volunteers who extremely patience and understanding. I can't wait to get back out.
Some explanation. I am sitting strapped to a glorified sled, mounted to two skis, that when I lean to one side allow me to edge in that direction. I have little skis mounted to my arms for balance and stability and also to help steer. This is the equipment I used, check out the results.
So, thoughts that first came to mind on the drive to the hill- do I really want to be a toboggan and/or do I really want to be a snowball. Well, you will have to watch the videos below!!
And give the videos some time to load..
