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"!
