Ski adventure

So the first text on this blogg is about the first time I tried downhill skiing. Yes there are actually people from Sweden who have not tried this sport and no we don't have an everlasting winter. Anyway my brother I and a friend to my brother went away to "agnes backen" round about 80 km south of UmeĆ„. It's not the biggest slope in the world and thus the perfect place for a beginner like me. So after having borrowed a pair of skies it was time to head for the real slope. I'm not sure if you can call the kid slope a real one but it was real enough for me. My helpful brother and friend gave me a couple of useful tips "remember to turn either left or right it will slow your speed down" ah okay sounds logical. I managed to master the slope and felt like it belonged to me until a 7 something year’s old kid swished passed me with a gleeful smile on his lips. Okay the illusion was broken but the fact that I had managed to actually go down my first slope ever without any broken bones felt awesome.
