Skiing Reflection
Welcome to this season of Terrace House - Tahoe Edition Capricorn SZN! Thanks all for tuning in since Season 1 and all those that have recently started watching and following. I really enjoy the Netflix Series Terrace House especially "Boys And Girls In The City". This season is pretty dope in that my skiing got better and I'm sharing a HUUUUUGE Cabin with 15+ people. One person I haven't seen or heard from since elementary school and another since high school! Very exciting!
My goal for going to Tahoe: learning how to ski so I could teach in Japan. Although I took ski lessons, I was not able to learn as fast as I thought I could in order to teach this season. Though I was frightened of falling, this recent Tahoe visit increased my confidence because my friends motivated me to go to more challenging routes. Falling sucks, it hurts -- bruising, tenderness, and swelling all happened to me. My left side hip, my inner right knee, and lower back spine. Regardless, I can say that I am a healthy person with no current issues with my body. To not utilize my body to its full potential would be very sad to me. So here I am going crazy. Sometimes, I go on tangents as you can see from my last sentence. :P
The thought comes thru my head -- if I don't get better now, then when? I thought about when I learned how to ride a bike, did I learn the first couple of tries? Hell no! So why should I stop now? I used to have a hard time stopping, but now I can carve so much better and am more confident skiing backward, which I thought undoable my last 3 times. I am stoked to say I can ski backward on less steep slopes and feel more comfortable going forward down steep slopes. I owe a lot to taking a ski lesson, going with friends that have the positivity and motivation, and meeting fellow experienced skiers that remind me of the little things like going wider left and right so I can go slower when going down a steep mountain.
I am truly excited what the future brings, whether it be just skiing with friends or possibly teaching in Japan next winter. Like the quote goes, "Shoot for the moon, the worse you'll hit is a star" or "Have big goals for yourself, because you never know how far you will go."
Thanks for reading my Terrace House: Skiing Progression Reflection!
