Of course its downhill skiing, I used to hate runnng skiing wasted 3 years in the section when was in the university.

And actually I not only opened a season, but tried it first time. Some years ago I made a downhill run on the board, but I weared 'grinders' shoes instead of special shoes :)

Anyway, I do not know how to downhill, so I took an hour ski lesson, found myself can not being able to perform even the simplest things like V-deceleration (I do not know how it is called in english, but it is supposed that feet form kind of V figure).
Apparently I found a way to learn this quickly - when you flight into the wall on the bone-breaking speed it is better to find out a way to decelerate and stop. One of them is to fall, but it has own and rather serious problem - pain, haematomas and ego drop.

First trainig was rather painful and without interesting results except that I found myself very liking this stuff. So I went there in a day and enjoyed the hell skiing from the top. Even multiple times down to the bottom without falls. And EVEN once (or at least half-once) I moved the way and speed I wanted.
I'm sure, my carving and V-turns are likely ugly as hell, I like how things go.

A good news is that whole-year hill center (well, I was lazy to move to the real hills :) is very conveniently located between my home and office, so I can spent 1-2 morning hours there. I always wanted to be able to ski and its quite possible now with car.

Not me :)
