CAS Action - Skiing in Erciyes, Turkey

From 27^th to 30^th January 2017, I went to Kayseri, Erciyes, one of the famous skiing places in Turkey to have a winter holiday. I started to skiing when I was 8 years old and still, every year I ski in different regions in Turkey such as Uludağ, Kartalkaya and Erciyes. As well as I enjoy skiing, it is also an action experience for CAS.

I ski nearly every year (although some exceptions occur) so I try not to stop skiing. I showed commitment and perseverance by skiing every day minimum for 8 hours and skiing every year with learning new abilities. At the age of 8, when I start to ski, I know only basic ski movements, only skiing fast and stopping. But then, with the help of skiing every year and learning new skills year by year, I think that I developed myself. Now, I am able to perform various skiing skills, perform movements better than I were. So, committing to this event developed my ability to ski.

While skiing, doing some movements such as rapid turns and climbing to the mountain with skis forces me. Skiing from so steep tracks are hard for me. Also, fully slaloming by lying my body is hard to do. In order to achieve these enormous skills, I concentrated on my hobby and work hard every day.

Some benefits of skiing are body development, due to training your every muscle while skiing, learning a new winter sport created me an opportunity to experience a different kind of sport. I learned that attending regularly to a sport enhances your development.
