Langlaufen ist nichts für mich

Today I went Cross-country skiing with my host mom and dad for the first time ever. I quickly learned, this is NOT for me. I found it quite fun, however, I could not figure out how to stop on the thin as paper sticks we were using as skis. This resulted in many many falls, some on purpose and some not. Not only was I having to fall a lot, but on the 10km trail we skied there were many uphill sections. I don't know if its just me, but I kept questioning how it was possible to walk up a hill on skis. I watched my host dad and mom do it with ease but when I tried it just didn't go as smoothly. I guess that might just come with practice! Luckily for me, my guest family has their own equipment and they go quite often!
