Skiii at Scotland Highland XD

last saturday one of my batchmates organised a trip to Scotland highland. looks like its green at the bottom and snowy on top. pretty cool huh?

spent about 62pounds (approx rm330) for everything, including the ski poles, boots (my god those r heavy), bus trip back and forth (bout 3 hours ride each way) and of coz training course for a day. =P

didnt include food >_< getting ready to ski! weeee! i tell u, skiing may look easy to you but omg it was like a mad challenge! plus with the strong blizard on top of the mountain. the forecast said that it would be snow storm in the afternoon, and truely it was. we only managed 2 skii in the morning.


not many were skiing that day, we got all the snow to ourselves. really.

the guy with goggle, thats our coach. he's Stewart and he's pretty nice guy. and at the end of the day he congratz us for manage to grasp all the basic skills. although some of us (including me) had a very serious bad fall. luckily the snow is pretty thick, so it acted like a cushion. =D

training ground. slide down then walk up. yeah, while carrying the ski poles. its not light u noe... probably almost 1 kg each side. or 2kg. or watever. as long its not light ><

oh look! caught in the storm! i dont dare ski (which is impossible!)... i probably end up at the bottom of the mountain if i try 2 ski... so i rather picked my ski poles and walked up. @@

after 2 hours or so of lesson, we had to rush back to the cottage for cover. super windy. and becoz of the wind, we didnt get for the afternoon skii. but it was fun to watch snows blowing towards u.
my housemate and i. and the snowboard is so cool. =D



damn, did i post like a model? well was just trying to keep my hat before it gone miles away with the wind.


a large lump of ice. reminds me of ABC.... yummy! see that wind? omg@@ oh forgot to mention, it was -11 celcius on the mountain! wth? my ears went frozen !!


a pic with our instructor for the day =P


i was trying to build this mini snowman... but i donno, it kept falling apart. (damn u wind!)



more snow!

lonely signboard in the middle of snow. oh wait, theres the no entry signboard too. =D


peaceful sky...



me and my stupid pose again =D.... those things behind were used 2 carry ppl across the snowfield. but i guess its not functioning due to the mighty wind. =/


heres the bottom of the mountain where the ice starting to loosen and turned into water which end up becoming into river somewhere around there.

a group photo! all looked cool except me with the summer cap. ><
signing off for the day. ^_^

its was a memorable day for ppl like me who witness snow for the 1st time. ^_^
