Today was my first day ever skiing. I had so much fun! Went to ski school this morning, had lunch, then hit the big kid slopes in the afternoon. Madi (a veteran skier) was getting a little bored on the same course, so when she saw a sign for another green, Pinball, branching off of Sassafrass, I agreed to take it with her. Well. Pinball was in the same direction as Paul's Folly, a black slope. After realizing we had no such ability to ski down, I end up sliding/flailing at least 100 feet, somehow headfirst at one point, until I was able to pizza wedge my skis. Just then a girl skies up and tells us she has no idea why this is labeled a green slope.. instead of helping me, Madi took this video. After trekking through some woods and meeting some savior, shirtless skiers who helped us ski down a blue, we  made it to the bottom. Basically it was the classic ski story of accidentally ending up on a black diamond on my first day. After telling Madi she would never live this one down, the rest of the day went well. May progress to blues by choice tomorrow!
