Inside she looked towards the man who was running the register and smiled at him. Anna led Jamie towards the ski section and started to search around, before pulling out a set of skiis and handing them to Jamie.


[color=003471]"Now to get you some boots."[/color] Anna said as she motioned for Jamie to follow her towards the boots, she looked at Jamie's feet for a moment before pulling out a pair that looked like they would fit her. "Go ahead and try those on."


Jamie smiled, accepting the equipment Anna gave her, gently setting it aside to accept the boots sitting down to try them on. They seemed to fit well, and Jamie stood up, smiling happily.[color=f7976a] "It seems good. You've got a good eye, for that"[/color] She said, picking up the ski's and holding them in the crook of her arm. 


She still couldn't believe she was going to be skiing. She couldn't believe she was here, in the cold. Well, she did want to experience everything the world had to offer. And to simply have fun. [i]and that's why I kept his number[/i] she thought to herself with amusement.[color=f9ad81] "Well. I'm probably going to fall over a lot, and end up half frozen, but fun is fun, so lets get out there"[/color]


[color=003471]"Working here for most of your life you could know a thing or two about getting the right sizes for people." [/color]Anna said with a soft smile as she held Jamie back up to her feet, and then went over to grab her own which was set up in the back of the store. Anna came out holding her own pair of skiis and motioned for Jamie to follow behind her. "C'mon lets go hit the slops and i'll teach you everything that I know." Anna said.


She headed out of the little shop and headed out through the back doors back into the cold mountain air as she looked up at the skii lift that would take them up the mountain and where most of her students that had signed up for the class will be.

 

 Jamie followed after Anna, juggling the ski'sand ski sticks. at the crunch of snow under her feet, Jamie looked down and about her. She had never seen so much white. It seemed...almost magical. But the bench would always be her favorite place. 

 

 Once they were at the lesson, Jamie tried to put the skiis on, but failed, ending up landing flat on her butt, laughing. [color=f9ad81]"I'm sorry, I'm normally much more graceful then this" Chu[/color]ckling, she scrambled up, poking the sticks into the ground, she once more tried to put the skiis on. 


Anna looked at Jamie and laughed slightly seeing the girl having a little bit of trouble trying to get the skiis on.[color=003471] "Here let me show you." [/color]Anna said as she set one of the skiis down into the snow. [color=003471]"So you put them on one at a time, and they should just click right in." [/color]Anna said as she set her foot down until there was a click and then she got down onto her knee and strapped her foot in.


[color=003471]"Then you do it with the other."[/color] Anna told her as she did the same exact thing to her other skii she lightly adjusted her foot and slid her feet around and through the snow. [color=003471]"Now you try."[/color] Anna said with a soft smile.


Jamie smiled at Anna, watching as she showed how to get onto the skiis. Jamie tried again, copying Anna's moves, and eventually with a bit of difficulty she got the skiis on. It felt quite odd to be standing on bits of wood, that didn't like to stay still. She constantly shifted, trying not to fall on her butt again. She had a feeling she was going to freeze it. 


She tried to use the sticks to keep her balance,[color=f9ad81] "Okay" [/color]She said when she managed not to fall again, [color=f9ad81]"What now?"[/color]


Anna gave Jamie a soft smile as she managed to get the skiis on her feet and didnt fall this time, though she was having a difficult time staying still. [color=003471]"Now just watch what I do." [/color]Anna said as she slowly slid one foot and then the other at least to get her used to moving.


[color=003471]"Just move your feet like I am, its how you walk with the skiis on." [/color]Anna said as she watched the other skiiers going down the mountainside. "[color=003471]Now when you are going down a hill and you want to slow down move your feet to a triangle position, that will slow you down or move your feet horizontal the way you are moving."[/color]


Jamie listened. She really tried to take it in, and to transfer it into the movement, but perhaps Jamie just wasn't made for the snow. As soon as she tried to put her feet into a triangle position, the skiis slipped out from under her and she fell on her backside. [color=f9ad81]"I have a feeling my butts going to be well known to the ground by the end of the day" [/color]She said with amusement, as she tried to figure out how to get up. 


It wasn't easy, but she eventually managed it.[color=f9ad81] "Well. No time like to present to try, right?"[/color] She drew in a deep breath, and gave Anna a wicked smile, before pushing off frm the hill. 


She didn't realise just how fast she could pick up speed. Her heart leaped into her throat, and a cry struggled to be released. She tried the traingle thing, tried to stop herself with the ski sticks and then just gave up, and practically dove into a fall. She had no idea where her sticks ended up, as she sat there just about spred out like a star fish. 


She burst out laughing, and looked around for Anna [color=f9ad81]"I might need a hand to get up, I appear to have got myself into a pickle"[/color]


Anna watched as Jamie got up and couldnt help but let out a giggle as she watched Jamie ending up and falling onto her ass, she watched as Jamie got herself back up to her feet again. [color=003471]"It just takes practice i'll get you to be a professional skiier in no time."[/color] Anna said with a smile as she watched Jamie suddenly turning herself down the hill and quickly went after her. Anna pushed herself down the hill passing by other skiiers and snowboarders.


Eventually Anna caught up to Jamie at the very end and watched as her little pupil falling out onto the snow once more. She laughed again as she quickly stopped herself as her skiis kicked up snow and came to a stop just by Jamie.

[color=003471]
"Let me help ya out there then, the snow seems to really love you."[/color] Anna said with a laugh as she helped Jamie back up onto her feet. [color=003471]"I think we should take a break, and get you some hot chocolate."
