Awesome Ski Trip (Temple Basin)

When I woke up I was nervous and pumped to go skiing when we got to school I loaded my stuff into a car and we went to temple basin goods lift and we loaded up our stuff then we had to drive a bit more down the road and we started walking up the mountain it was a really hard walk up because it got really steep. When we got up to temple basin lodge we went in and had some lunch and put our stuff in our bunk rooms then it was finally time to go skiing! at first, we had to get our boots and skis I was amazed how heavy ski boots are then we went and played on a hill that was just outside the lodge I walked all the way to the top and slid all the way down doing 180s and 360s it was really fun by this point everyone had got into their ski boots and we got to try start skiing at first I had no idea what so ever I was doing I got told how to do a pizza and I went down the mountain and crashed I knew this was a small crash and I had bigger crashes to come but luckily I Liked crashing I found it funny and cool. We had to walk up the mountain and ski down falling over at least 30 times I found it really boring at first.



The next day Grace helped me learn how to ski because we got some people that could already ski helping the people that could not ski I learned a lot from her after lunch we had to do the dishes we had so many dishes it was funny it took us an hour I think all I wanted to do was get back out there and ski because my friends were starting to go on the tow rope when I got back onto the ski field I got to go on the tow rope at first I was really nervous because I knew it was going to be hard skiing down the mountain I got up to where I wanted to be and I got off the rope and falling over I got back up put my skis on and tried to ski down the mountain I got almost to the end and I crashed going really fast I slid really far down the mountain then after I stopped sliding I got back up and got my skis that were 10m away from me. After about 15 runs down the mountain I could finally ski better than what I thought I can the next day ski was totally different in the morning because the snow was really slippery and I was falling over a lot at first then I started to get better later in that day I got a turning season with Steve (Kate's Dad) And it helped me a lot it was putting my weight on the other ski and little things like that but it helped a lot this made me be able to turn around markers and stuff like that.

Overall, I think this is the best challenge and I want to go skiing again for sure!
