A Trip to the snowy mountains in Feldberg which is the highest peak in the Black forest (Schwarzwald)! The place is really very beautiful with all the snowy mountains and of course the black forest!
A little knowlege on why the forest is known as black forest: The name Schwarzwald, i.e. Black Forest, goes back to the Romans who referred to the thickly forested mountains there as Silva Nigra , i.e. "Black Forest," because the dense growth of conifers in the forest blocked out most of the light inside the forest.This is the place for most skiers to ski during winter and early spring season..And it is my first time trying skiing!
Arghhh...it is tough job..the shoes are soo thick and heavy, I had a hard time trying to get my foot inside the shoes and buckling them...next I had to fit my shoes onto the huge and heavy skiers...
It is really difficult to ski or walk on the snowy mountains and slope. The guys are enjoying themselves uphill while I am stuck alone downhill. Rj and wL are not skiing so thr is only me alone! I was a little worried and afraid without the gals beside me, what more I don even know how to ski and I am all alone trying to learn how to ski!!
Arghh... that was not a gd feeling at all! Luckily, I manage to see rj and wl..and they helped me alot..they take photos of me and tried to help me to ski..eventually I managed to ski a little and things get better and fun...
Some pix of my learning to ski process.....
There are a lot of unglam photos and video of me! The guys are like laughing and laughing and laughing at me! erm...I feel so self conscious and weird...but of crs I tried not to show because I don't want to spoil the mood and the atmosphere...
The next time I gg skiing, I must gg with someone that will help and guide me! Not like those guys..roar! hmmmm...who can I ask??
How I wish sike is with me during skiing! I know laoda will sure enjoy it! I can imagine laoda smile and excitement over skiing..haha!
Still skiing is a new experience for me.....just glad tt the gals r with me and I am not alone...next we tour around the small town called titisee..beautiful!
Dinner is gd! The restaurant (Bergsee) that we went served really excellent black forest cake!
Yum yum..
Bedtime is waiting for me.....
