Ski Trip

Ski Trip

On Monday the 16th of August 2016 Room One at Karoro School went to Porters ski field everyone had to be at school a 6:45pm that meant people had to get up at 6:15. When we left everyone hopped in cars and had a two hour journey to Porters.

When we got there we got our skis and our ski boots on. Then we got sorted into groups, into beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers. I was in beginners. In beginners I had a twenty five minute lesson and when I was good enough Ms Kemp gave me a password so I could go on the intermediate.

After a while I finally got the hang of it and I got told the password which was Mawhera.  I told Mrs Martin so she let me on the intermediate slope.  My dad came on with me for my first time but I fell off the gondola thing [the poma lift]. I went again and I made it up to the top. When I went down the wind was blowing in my face and I went side to side then I came to the bottom so I went on the slope again.

Finally  it was time to drive home. Jack was in the car and so was Mrs Martin. Halfway home, I think it was past Arthurs Pass, I fall asleep. I woke up to a step of a brake. My dad was stopping for road works.  I ended up with watching Jack eat his white chocolate all the way home.

I really enjoyed the ski trip and I'm going next year if I can.  My dad said that he will take me back on the weekend.
