Tenesha's Ski Trip
Packed our bags, got ready,
we were off to Rainbow Ski Field. YAY! We finally got to the Rainbow Ski Field
car park after a long smelly drive, thanks to the smelly old shuttle that was
driving in front of us.
We were all waiting at the
bottom of the ski field for about an hour, because the shuttle left us all
behind. OH, finally here it comes and off up to the ski field we went.
When we got up there, we went
and stored our bags in the hut, then we had a big talk with a ski organiser. He
told us about how to keep safe on the slope.
It was now time to get our
skis and snowboards from the rentals. A man got us sorted out with our skis,
but the only let down for me was my ski boots, because they hurt my feet.
Now it was time to get out
into the winter cold snow, but before we got to go skiing, we had to have a
lesson. We all started learning how to move our skis back and forwards. Then it
got a bit harder each time. 1,2,3,4,5 down the little slope we went. Our lesson
was over. “Yay!” yells Amy. Jade and I went down the little slope for about two
hours. It was now time to go down the middle slope.
Oh no, we got there and there
was such a big line. It was so boring, but it was so worth it. Zoom, off up the
hill we went. We stood at the top off the hill for a bit, because we were
scared that we would crash into little kids, but we didn’t.
Amy, Pagan, Hannah, Jade and
I found some really deep snow. It was hard to walk in it. We all raced back to
the hut and had something to eat. Yum, yum, yum. Back to the snow we went. Amy
made a big snowman. It looked so cool. Then Amy and I were putting our heads in
snow.
It was coming closer to the
end of the day, but we still had time to have lots of fun. Pagan and I got some
black rubbish bags. We then found a big slope that was quite flat. I bet you
all know what we did, “Weeeee!” said Pagan. It was so awesome going down the
big hill. It’s time to go said Hannah, so we walked back to the hut. When we got
back we gave a big thanks to the parents and teachers.
It came to the end off this
awesome day. We were all ready to go home. I went to get my dry clothes on and
what? Oh! I left my ski glasses in the toilet! Oh no, that was so annoying, but
there was no time to get them back, because we were already on the shuttle. I
think I would love to do that day all over again!
