January 29, Kari and I went skiing in the mountains. The weather was great and it seemed like the ideal day for skiing. For my part, however, it was an almost traumatizing experience with quite some ice and packed snow which didn't fit a novice in downhill skiing at all. It was the first time ever I tried downhill skiing, and the result wasn't pretty! I really need to work on my skills, while Kari does telemark turns with the greatest of ease :)
