Skiing

On Thursday the bell went and I was ready to go skiing.  I got in the Dodd's car and we followed Mrs Schreurs to her house to park her car.  She got in Mrs Dodd's car.  We drove to the big fish in Gore where all the others were waiting.

Ted and I played a card game all the way to Wanaka.  When we got to the Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park at 7.30pm we got our heavy bags out of the cars and walked into the main room with the smell of tea waffling into the room.  Mrs Norman and Ahna came up early with all the food so when we got to Wanaka our tea was hot and ready to eat.  I had a sausage and my Mum's lasagne and bread. 

In my room there was Ted and Bond.  We had a game in the main room with all the other children.  Then we made our yum lunch then went to our beds.

7.10am we were in the cars driving up the mountain.  I put on my blue pedal bike helmet in case we go over a cliff on the road.  

When we got our ski gear we were ready for our lesson.  It started at 9.30am and finished early at 11am because it was so cold.  Mr Smith said I had sheep dogs on the back of my head because bits of my hair were frozen.

After morning tea we went out onto the main field.  I skied off the ski lift and down the first hill. I skied past the first flag, then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th then hit a bump and fell over and slid down the hill.  I looked at one of my skis, the back of my click on the ski was bent.  Ted stopped to help me but he went backwards and fell over.  When Ted walked back up the hill to help me a snow boarder went over my skis and hit Ted's skis and face planted into the snow.  Finally a ski instructor stopped to help out.  He bent my ski back into place.  After I got my painful ski on we skied back for lunch.  The wind was so powerful it felt like 100 kilometres per hour.  Lots of people hated it but I loved it, snow flying everywhere going 100 kilometres per hour, YEAH!

We went back to the main skiing building.  Mrs Schreurs said that we had to give our skis and poles back because we were not allowed back out because of the weather.  Next we ate our lunch.  After our yummy lunch we went back down the hill.  I went with Ted to Frankton and then went home with my Dad, Mrs Stirling, Grace and Courtney.  I loved skiing this year and can't wait to go skiing next year.
