Skiing with the Erasmus

 

It was on march 2017, the end of the winter season, when I decided to try skiing for the first time. I had no friends available to go with; nevertheless, I was such convinced to go skiing that leads me to do a small research on the Internet. Then, I found this small group that used to organize events just like the one I was interested in. I texted them and got a positive reply with a place and a date.

During the bus trip we expected favorable conditions in the ski slope that while we arrived we confirmed it was perfect. The day wasn’t neither sunny nor cold. The ski skates felt tight and the slope waited for us to be ride.

It was precious how the sun started to show itself over our heads. At the same time the reflective sunrays started to burn our skins. My improvised clothing wasn’t the most suitable for this. However, I felt alive one more time. Even every time I drastically fell on the snow I had this feeling of doing it again and again.

Tons of fun and a bunch of new friend were the most cherished things I treasure. No nationalities, no languages, no borders were important for a moment where the only objective was to ski.
