Last Thursday I went skiing here in Ireland for the first time with UCD's snow sports club. The slope was made out of this prickly plastic surface with sprinklers spraying out water over top of it. As I approached it from far away my thoughts were that of Matt Sheridan's popular saying"what's up with that?" It was an experience but I'm not sure if I want to pay to do it again. I am even more excited to be back in the snowy mountains in PA. I did go along with the German girl and met her two Irish friends which were fun to talk with. The one was from Derry and the other the Wicklow mtns.
Overall, the idea that you can perfect your skills on this stuff is kinda cool but it's just not much fun without snow around
