Brace yourself

In my last blog post, I mentioned one of my loves, the slopes of the mountains.  I went skiing there.

I haven't went skiing for a long time so I was susceptible to tumble and fall, sometimes at extremely high speed.  This happened to me twice.  Each time, I would brace myself.  By that, I mean I would try to roll myself into a ball (think cannonball when diving into the lake or swimming pool in the summer).  This way, my ski won't get caught in the snow and I am like a rock when I fall into the snow.  Reflex is very important during extreme speed.  I had closed to no time to think.  I just know I have to protect my body from the fall so I went "CANNONBALL"!
