The ski slopes arrived.

Mt. Hikarashi is more than 1,800 meters tall and resembles the Mt. Fuji seen in Japan.

However, Singles Mountain was not formed by a volcanic eruption, and it is naturally shaped like this, and the shape is suitable for building a ski resort.

The pine forest used to cover its halfway up the mountainside, but now on the northern slope, there are a few clear white marks.

Like a spider's web covering the mountains, these are the slopes carved out by cutting down the trees.

Originally, it was planned to build only eight ski runs, but when the Snow Mountain Resort opened, it was found that there were surprisingly many tourists who enjoyed this activity, and people from several nearby states continued to come to play.

So recently, Han Qianshan asked the construction team to add four more to alleviate the pressure of collisions caused by large crowds.

The two beginner slopes are only 300 meters long and are suitable for the elderly, children and beginners.

There are nine intermediate trails in total, ranging in length from 500 to 1,500 metres.

Among them, there is a difficult ski trail that stretches from the point of Singles Mountain to the summit of the mountain, zigzag to the foot of the mountain, with a total length of nearly 3,100 meters.

If you want to go to that slope, you need to sign a waiver agreement in advance, because if you are not careful, you may have an accident.

Even experienced skiers can be intimidating to see the run.

Montana is not a European Alpine, and it is normal for a trail to be five or six kilometers long.

The camp is surrounded by wooden fences more than two meters high, and there are some sharp barbed wires on top of it to prevent fierce beasts from suddenly invading and injuring people.

If you are interested, you can walk all the way from the hotel, where there is a wooden boardwalk with a protective fence that connects the hotel to the ski resort camp at the foot of Singles Mountain.

At this time, the ski camp was more lively than the hotel, and today many travel agencies in the town of Flathead have also added skiing to their itineraries, resulting in the ski resort now being full of tourists.

A variety of cars and buses are placed in the parking lot.

There is a long line in front of the ticket gates, and a ticket costs $200 for two days.

The ski resort is not open this morning, so naturally it will not come according to the usual ticket price, only 120 dollars after a 60% discount, and half price for seniors and children over 50 years old, but they can only enter the beginner ski slope, and they are not allowed to play when they are 60 years old

Han Xuan tied the sled dogs under a pine tree, arranged a car to pick up those who had just been in an accident, and took Anya and the bodyguards directly into the base camp.

The entrance of the shop that sells and rents ski equipment is crowded with tourists, who are led by shopping guides to choose suitable ski equipment for themselves.

If you have money, you can also hire a private ski instructor for one-on-one guidance, otherwise tourists can only play by themselves.

The red cable car continues to carry tourists up the mountain, and the vendors of Augusta, who have paid a rent, have opened their branches here, and business is now very busy.

When the owner of the fried chicken restaurant saw Han Xuan, he laughed and beckoned, "Han, long time no see!"

Come and eat something to eat here before you go, I've learned the secret recipe for roasting wings in Orleans, would you like to try it?"

"No thanks.

We've just had lunch and will come back to you when we're done skiing. Han Xuan responded to him with a smile on his face.

After getting the equipment ready in advance, I went to the lounge of the resort office building, where more than a dozen sets of equipment consisting of skis, ski poles, ski suits, gloves, knee pads, hats and ski goggles were neatly arranged.

When I was in the hotel, I wore a waterproof jacket, which is similar to a ski suit, quite loose, and I don't need to change it now.

handed the white women's cotton hat to Anya, and after she put it on, she helped her put on the helmet, Han Xuan took off his shoes and socks and replaced them with thick cotton socks and ski boots.

It took more than 20 minutes to get everything tidied up, sandwiched ski poles, pair of skis, and ski boots, swaying from side to side like a penguin, and struggling to reach the entrance of the cable car.

Bodyguard George was an extreme sports enthusiast for a long time after retiring, in addition to mountaineering, rock climbing and whitewater boating, skiing is also one of his favorite sports.

He bowed his head and asked Han Xuan and Anya, and said, "It's your first time skiing, right?"

Okay, let's go to the 300-meter-long slope first, I'll teach you how to ski, you have to be familiar with the terrain of the slope first, you look at this picture. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the topographical map of the ski resort on the billboard, the curved red line represented the slopes, and the three-hundred-meter one, which seemed to be only a little long.

Everyone else was queuing, although it was his own ski resort, Han Xuan was not embarrassed to cut in line, came to the entrance of the cable car to the beginner ski slope, and stood at the end of the more than ten meters long queue and waited.

George took out Han Xuan's trouser legs that he had tucked into his ski boots, helped him tighten his shoelaces again, and continued: "You have to remember that skiing is similar to driving, and you should also pay attention to the side on the slopes, and don't stay in the middle of the slopes all the time.

If you want to stop and rest and adjust your ski equipment, you have to wait until you pull over.

Pay attention to the people around you and don't bump into them.

Also, no matter what happens, don't take off your helmet.

The soft snow was knocked down by a helicopter in the morning, but the temperature is high today, and there is still a risk of small avalanches.

And at high speeds, it's easy to hit trees and rocks, and a hard hat can save your life. ”

Not only did Han Xuan and Anya listen carefully, but Gabriel, Jason, Owen and others had never skied the snow.

Learning George's movements and using ski poles for comparison, I felt that it was not difficult, and after I had learned it, I was full of confidence.

With a mysterious smile on his face, George said, "It's all because you wrestle first, and then you like skiing, and I'm sure you will like it too."

Time passed.

The people in front of the team boarded the cable car one after another, and soon it was Han Xuan's turn.

Han Xuan pulled Anya to sit in, the space was quite large, and it was not a problem to sit six people at a time.

After the warning bell sounds, the cable car staggers in the breeze and gradually drifts away from the ground.

Not far from the trail near the base of the mountain, it takes about four or five minutes to get there.

Often watching the scene of the ground covered with snow on the helicopter, Han Xuan is not interested in the snow scene under the cable car at the moment, he is looking at the high-speed moving people on the hillside.

There was a guy who was skiing the most difficult slope, sliding down from Singles Mountain at a slope angle of nearly 80 degrees.

His movements caused several small avalanches nearby, and just looking at it made Han Xuan's heart tremble, adrenaline surged, and cold hairs stood on end all over his body.

I thought that when I could, I would be able to learn from him and try it......

After arriving at the starting point, George taught them to warm up, and Han Xuan looked at the ski slope around him that was eleven or twelve meters wide and led straight to the foot of the mountain, with a nonchalant expression.

The slope is only 45 degrees at most, so it's not difficult at all.

Except for Anya, who looked scared and frowned, the other bodyguards also had the same look as Han Xuan.

Seeing that Owen was already dozing off and not warming up, George said to him, "How about you help Han Xuan demonstrate first?"

"Good!"

Owen turned his head to see the other man's skiing.

From the flat area that was carved out, I came to the side of the slope, took a few deep breaths, and put my hands on hard......

I have to say that his posture is quite standard, and he was indeed sliding in the first few seconds, but he just slid out about 20 meters...... Why did you change it to rolling forward?

The screams like killing pigs are earth-shattering!

There were several skiers nearby, looking at them with nostalgia, as if they were recalling the time when they had just practiced.

Han Xuan saw that Owen was still rolling, and couldn't help covering his eyes, feeling sorry for him.

George pointed to the black object that was still tumbling and smiled, "See?"

This is the opposite of starting too fast, resulting in poor control of the pace, you should also try. ”

Gabriel was silent and said for a long time: "I have a herniated disc in my lumbar spine, so let's stop playing after thinking about it, and help you see good things here."

The opportunity to ski is reserved for you young people, and the slopes will be crowded when there are more people. ”

“……”

When Han Xuan heard such a noble reason, he was speechless for a while, and pulled Anya to the edge of the snow track, and the two were five or six meters apart.

Pack up your top-of-the-line gear, move to the top of the slope and put on your goggles, snap your shoes onto your skis and stand firm, and grab your ski poles.

Facing a ray of sunshine shining from the west, Han Xuan was full of self-confidence at this moment, he had memorized all the movements of others when they were skiing, and he felt that he was handsome and compelling, and the jade tree was in the wind.

The mask whispered to the third...... Two-one, brace the pole hard!

But it's not as good as Owen, who fell down just after the start.

Rolling all the way out of thirty or forty meters away, a dog came to eat what it was, and he turned dizzy and nauseous.

Shaking his head and standing up, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of snow, the ski poles were gone, and there was only one ski left, all lying on the way to it.

At this time, when he saw Anya steady and steady, slowly sliding from the top of the slope to him, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Anya stopped, remembered what George had said earlier, and stepped aside.

At this time, Jason also rolled down, ahhhhhh

Do you want me to wait for you here?"

“…… No, you can play first. ”

Han Xuan covered his face and ran in tears, picking up his dropped skis and cane.

With his back to the girl, he really didn't have the face to see her, and his face was lost
