Skiing On Monday

On Monday the 15th of August 2016 me and Room 1 went skiing at Porters Pass ski field.

We had to be at school by 6:45 am. The worst thing was that I woke up at 4:45. After my parents I had breakfast and then got ready and packed. Then Summer picked me up then we went to school. After everyone left it took Gage a while to get to school and then finally he came.

After we got on the road again we set off for two hours in the car. With lots of views to see and lots of things to look at. Most of the chatting and looking out the window took away a lot of time and we all knew we were close then finally we saw the porters sign.

Down the dirty road up and down we go and we knew were close because we could see the ski field, the T bars and the chair lift then the scariest part there was a very high and long zig zag road up to the car park and up we go.

When we were up the road we parked and lined up and ski / boot hire. After a while of waiting we went in. I was the first person. Then I walked up to the boot person and asked them for a size 5 boot. Good enough it fitted perfectly. Then since the boot fitted I walked up to the ski person and gave him the other boot and he took it and got some cool skis. Then he asked for my weight and he did them up and I was the first out.

After that I went over to the beginners slope and there was Ms Kemp. Then Mitchell's dad have us a little push and I was skiing for the first time then I went on the magic carpet which I fell off but I was fine. After we had ski lessons and we were showed some tips and tricks. Once that was done I had trouble turning so I asked for help then I knew how to turn and I got the intermediate password. Once I was there I was nervous so I went up and down with Guy’s dad from half way. Then I built some confidence up and went higher and higher each time. At one part I faced my fear and up to the very top. There was a little drop at the top of the intermediate and I fell off all three times I went down It on the third and final time is was the saddest part. I had to go back to the boot and ski hire and go back to my car.

Yet another two hours back down the zig zag road. On the way back I was half asleep. I knew the way back so it went faster. The other best thing was that I got dropped off at my house at the end.
