For this skiing, Fang Bin and the others had been preparing for it a few months ago. Before going there, they did enough homework and consulted many friends from Scotland. They were going to a small school called Aviemore in Scotland. The town is said to have the largest ski resort in Britain.
They set off from London to Edinburgh, and then took a taxi to Aviemore. The weather in Scotland is really cold. They are all wrapped in thick down jackets with warm shirts inside but they still feel cold.
Although Qiu Ci was wearing leather gloves and his hands were not cold, his face had been frozen just now, so he covered his face with the gloves.
Li Wei wears a pink knitted hat that can protect his ears. He also wears a thick mask. One face is half covered, which is not too cold.
After arriving at Aviemoer, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Peter took everyone to the hotel that had already been booked.
Aviemoer is a small town, tourism is the pillar industry here. The town is full of hotels of all sizes. At this time of the year, business in the town is extremely hot. Fortunately, at Peter's suggestion, the hotel was booked a month in advance, otherwise I am afraid that there will be nowhere to stay.
Time is limited, so I can’t go to the ski resort today. Everyone went to a bar in the town to relax.
The next morning, Xiao Gao and the others knocked on their room, urging them to set off.
Qiu Ci and Li Wei discussed: "It should be very cold over the ski resort."
"It goes without saying, it's not wrong to wear an extra layer of warmth."
Li Wei carried a bag on his back with a camera and a pair of sunglasses.
Everyone took the car to Caingorm, but as the altitude got higher and higher, the temperature became lower and lower, and finally arrived at the ski resort. Qiu Ci was the first to exclaim, "It's beautiful."
Li Wei also looked out of the car window, but saw a vast expanse of whiteness, and the superb snow scene in front of him was breathtaking.
The car finally came to a halt slowly, Qiu Ci opened the door and rushed out first. However, the temperature outside ten degrees below zero made people freeze there for a long time.
Li Wei took out the camera in his backpack and started shooting without a hurry.
This is a paradise for ski lovers and naturally has the best ski equipment. The group of people has skiing experience in Xiaogao, and the rest are laymen. They also have a classmate from Edinburgh, Peter. Peter acted as a guide for them throughout the whole process, took them to the store to rent equipment, and helped them find a coach. Beginners like these will naturally fail without the guidance of a coach.
The coach assigned to Li Wei is called Lila, a tall and fat middle-aged woman who speaks softly and softly, with a smile on her face, and looks very amiable.
Rented the equipment and found the coach. Once you find the venue, you will start skiing.
Li Wei put on a one-piece ski suit, Lila coach helped her put on a snowboard, Li Wei held the snowball fight tightly, put on sunglasses and a helmet, everything was ready.
"Don't be nervous, follow my instructions, and take your time." Coach Lila saw that Li Wei was the face of a Dongfang, fearing that Li Wei would not understand her words and could not comprehend her words, so he spoke slowly.
Under Lila’s guidance, Li Wei began to glide towards a relatively gentle slope. He had never had skiing experience before. Although there is a coach’s suggestion, it is unavoidable to be nervous. Once nervous, he cannot control his body well. She couldn't keep her balance, so she didn't slip a few meters away, and she fell off with somersault. Coach Lila hurried to catch up, and kept cheering Li Wei: "Don't panic, you must not panic if you are not proficient, it is easy to make mistakes. The posture has not been in place, listen to me again, you carefully understand."
Lila took the trouble to explain to Li Wei every small movement and how the body should react. Sure enough, he is a meticulous and gentle coach. After Lila finished the explanation, Li Wei smiled and thanked her. When she was about to set off, she saw Qiu Ci was screaming and screaming, and her body disappeared soon after she set off. Under control, he fell into a big horse. Fortunately, it was in the snow, and it was protected, and it didn't hurt anything.
Lila cheered Li Wei on the side, and it should be better for the second time. Li Wei believes that the motor nerves are still relatively developed, so this time she started with complete preparations.
Lila kept cheering on Li Wei from behind. This time she was not so flustered and nervous as if she could succeed. As the increased and the speed became faster and faster, she held her cane tightly to maintain her balance.
It slid twenty to thirty meters, but this time he did not fall again.
Lila ran down and praised: "The progress is really obvious. Look, you can do well as long as you calm down. Let's challenge another difficult one. Come on and believe in yourself."
Lila is a good coach, and it is an honor for Li Wei to have her guidance. Although she is only a beginner, she has good comprehension. Although she is not handy within half an hour, she hardly wrestles, and she slips decently.
Exercising not only exercises the body, but also reduces stress. Li Wei likes sports, and she hasn't put aside sports since she was a student.
Qiu Ci was timid and couldn't let go, always making mistakes. I didn't know how many somersaults and snow ate all the way, but she still enjoyed it and felt that skiing was actually a fun thing. They skated for more than two hours, and gradually got used to the temperature after they got active, and the stiffness on their bodies disappeared.
Later, everyone was tired and their stomachs were empty, so they went to the restaurant down the mountain to buy something to fill their stomachs. Li Wei saw that there were not many foods on the menu, but for them, it was enough to have a warm mouth.
Li Wei ordered a cup of hot cocoa, but Chiu Ci didn't dare to ask for something so sweet, so he had to change to another soup.
After eating something casually, the afternoon activities started.
After going crazy for a day outside, I returned to the warm room, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. Qiu Ci was still in the same room with Li Wei, and Qiu Ci yelled that he was hungry.
"I didn't eat a few bites for dinner, if only there was a bowl of warm dumplings to eat at this time."
Li Wei nodded her forehead and said, "You are so beautiful and want to eat dumplings. I am not as greedy as you. I will be satisfied with a bowl of instant noodles."
"What are you doing? Let's go out and find something to eat." Qiu Ci got out of bed and put on slippers. Li Wei also felt that she did not feel full. The two wrapped up their coats, wore scarves, and put on shoes.
They walked out of the room and asked the owner of the hotel where the nearby supermarket was. However, when they walked out of the hotel's door, the oncoming cold wind instantly froze them.
