Ski Camp!

Enjoy the video above. It is from my exciting adventure at Lyzak! aka a week of skiing every Czech student in their freshman year of high school goes on with their class. This year I had the joy of going for a week to the mountains with 50 high schoolers. Not only that, but I was also the snowboarding instructor! Somehow I managed to give snowboarding tips in Czech, a miracle in itself, and the students understood me, well, at least I think they did? Does it all sound too good to be true? It should! It was a great time, but, as I say, it's no Colorado. The ski run took a total of 60 seconds to go down and then the fun 3 minute ride up (see video for my excitement). With all that aside, it really was a great trip and I enjoyed "the nature," students and my fellow teachers. Oh yeah, one more part, I went cross country skiing for the first time ever; I fell . . . a lot! Sometimes that flat ground can be more tricky than the mountain!!!
