My goals for this year
My skiing goals for this year is to be confident skiing.
To learn how to parallel ski.
To go down from the top of the mountain and the giant.
I will hopefully be able to do all those things by the end of the ski trip
The car ride was long and slow but actually before we knew it we were driving up the mountain. Every year I always forget how long the trip is because I am always filled up with so much excitement that the time flies. The mountain sparkled and the weather was divine with not a cloud in the sky. As Mrs Fielder's car slowly chugged up the mountain I was pumped and ready to go I could not wait. As we drive up to the car park it was deserted. We where the first people there.
Our lesson: Donna was our teacher. She was great. She played all these different games with us like the juice game when you squeeze the outside leg outwards to make your favorite juice. In the hula hoop game first pick a favorite color and it is the color of your hula hoop and as you go to turn lean belly button over side of the hula-hoop the way you want to turn. The tail game practiced turning your heel out as well as your toes so it is easier to turn and ski parallel.The sponge game practiced squeezing ankles together to make it easier to turn parallel. I ate my lunch and then Hannah and Tyler approached me."We are going to the top. Could you please come with us.""Umm sure I guess so," I said.
Going down from the top: The feeling of leather seats behind my back felt soooo good and the footrest to put my skis on was great because on the other chair lifts they are metal which hurts your back and having your skis dangling pulls your ankles out of their sockets It was faster and it was luxury on the chair lift to the top of the mountain. I felt so professional when we hopped off. Me and Hannah had never done it before but Tyler had. So me and Hannah were worried but Tyler seemed to know where he was going. Down to the big bowl we went and it was exactly what it was named ... it was a big bowl. I got really worried but then I remembered that this is where I can use my parallel skiing and it worked. I went slow and steady down the big bowl at one point Hannah fell over which made Tyler fall over.It was so funny and since I turned around to look at them I nearly fell over too. After we skied the big bowl we came to the Giant and went down Upper Freeway and after Upper Freeway was Movenpick and after Movenpick was Parklane.
