Hirafu Happy Hoppers - Day 1

Karate and Kickass on the chair lift

The ACE Family slope

Today three ski bunnies (ok two bunnies, one hare) hit the slopes. We had a 2hr Level 2 lesson with Ester our Spanish instructor. It took some time to figure things out again... when do we do up the boots, does the helmet go on first, then gloves or leave some stuff off until the end. Anyway, it all came flooding back and we had a successful lesson with some parallel turns and lifting of the back leg by the end.


Our stats for today were:
Duration: 4hrs 30min
Mr & Mrs B
Distance covered: ~7km
Calories burnt: 1,600 (yes, I brought the heart rate monitor :P)
Bruised shins: 4... Ninja has no weaknesses :P

Tomorrow we have another lesson (Level 3 - booyah) and we'll venture out on to different lifts and slopes...stay tuned!

xoxo
Karate Kate
