When I first put my bindings on I startedsliding down a small hill and I fell. Later when we wereabout to go on the chair lift I had no experience on how toget off so when we reached the top I fell, after that theyhelped me get up and moved me aside to I didnt get hitby the chairlift or the people thats got off. When I wenton my first run It took me like 10-15 min. after a coupleof times I knew how to go and stop. Later they told me if Iwanted to go to a green or blue run so I said sure butsince I knew the basics it was easier. That day was veryfun but the next day I was extremely sore. 7.
