9th February 2008:
1st Sci di Fondo Lesson

Not content with having fallen over a lot when we tried downhill skiiing we thought we would book a cross-country skiing lesson and fall over some more. We chose Pragelato (where they held the Olympic cross-country skiing in 2006) as the best place to start our careers.
And it was beautiful.
We managed to go uphill and downhill, and fall over while doing both.
A much needed drink... it was exhausting and, with the sun shining, hot work.
The Carabinieri were out patrolling for all that cross-country skiing crime.
