Ski Trip

Porters

At 6:45 we were at school we got an arm band from Miss Martin my number was 6. I went in Phil's car with Guy, Madison and Poppy. On the way I spewed. It was disgusting!

When we got to Porters it was surprisingly warm. We went to get our gear and it took ages. We had to get ski boots and skis. After this we went to our lessons our instructor was really cool. After a while we finished our lessons. At the beginner slope I showed Ms Kemp [my teacher] my turning and stopping. After this she told me the password for the intermediate slope and then we went for lunch.

After lunch me and my friend Kieran  went to the intermediate slope. We didn't stop half way, we went to the top first. I was nervous so was Kieran. I went first, I did my turns properly and didn't crash but Kieran did, many times! After this we did the intermediate lots of times and Kieran crashed lots of times but not me, I only crashed once.

When I was coming down the intermediate Ms Kemp said I could go on the chair lift with an adult. I went up with Lee. It was scary when we got off. We started to go down, we had to do big turns across the mountain. I crashed many times! After a while I got the hang of it but then I crashed. We went to the intermediate from the advanced, it was easy.

In the afternoon we gave our gear back to the ski shop and got in the car and left for the West Coast. After about two hours we finally got to Greymouth. I really enjoyed skiing because it was good to bond with your friends and to have some fun.
