Skiing In Hermon

Weekends in Ashdod is a real bore without my family, so I went skiing on Mt Hermon on two weekends. Skiing is once of those sport which I can't get enough of, if only it was not so expensive. The first weekend was more like a refresher as I had to relearn my ski techniques from the last time I skiied in Alp De Huez in 1997. Fell a couple of times and sprained my shoulder quite badly. It certainly didn't help that it was icy through out the slope.

Hit the slopes again two weekends later and really enjoyed myself this time. In Hwee Feng's words, the config file has been loaded (from the last weekend) and machine is oiled. It snowed heavily on one of the days but because of that the slopes were empty and I had the slopes all to myself.
