Skiing on Mt Taranaki
One cold Taranaki morning we drove up to the ski field . It was going to be my very first time on skis. I was scared,I didn’t know If i was going to stand up or crash.
When I got out of the car at the ski field it was cold and windy and there was snow on the ground. We started walking.
35 minutes later
We were at the Hut/Lodge. I put all of my ski gear on like my
puffa jacket and rain coat. I also put the ski boots on that we rented. Then I was ready to go!
I walked outside, and walked up to the top of the beginners run. I put the rented skis onto my feet. I started going down the hill , I got out of control and Crashed! I started crying so HARD! I yelled out I HATE SKIING!
After that I let my sister have a go on the skis. My sister did not scream and cry. But I do not think she liked it very much. When my sister said she was finished, we went inside.
I was very hungry and thirsty. I put my hand round dads warm coffee to warm my hands. Then I had some of the lollies we bought.
After that we walked down to the car when we were coming
down there was lots of people coming up.
Now I love skiing now because I had another go in Queenstown. Well, I didn’t crash, (well, I did crash, but I knew about crashing and it didn’t worry me.) it was easier and there was more snow. IT WAS STILL COLD!
