2nd time skiing

Unlike Saturday, today (Thursday) was icey. They haven't had new snow since last weekend so there were a lot of times that the skiis would not catch.  Also because of the ice, the straight-aways were not smooth and thus I got a lot of chatter and movement.  But I have since moved from the bunny-slope, to the green hills, blue hills and now the red hills.  All that remains are the black back-country trails which have cliff drops and usually start on the very peak of a nearby summit.  However, I don't expect or desire to ski at this level.

Here are pictures of green hills.  I do not have pictures of the harder ones because I did not want to take a chance of breaking my camera-phone.  The best part about the skiing is definitely being completely surrounded by the alpes.
