i went 4 a ski trip with 42 other pple in my year level. it was really fun!!!!
Friday
After skool we lift for mt hotham......we reached at 11pm cuz there were some delays.....i was sooooooooooooo sleepy!!!!!
Saturday
i got up in the morning and looked out of the balcony and the scenery was BEAUTIFUL!!!! the mountains were covered with snow and it was gr8! today we went 2 get our skiis and poles. then i had my ski lesson. I LOST MY SKI GLOVES!!!! it was sooooo horrible.......but lukily my friend lent her extra pair 2 me 4 the rest of the weekend. the ski lesson was really tough cuz i had 2 get used 2 the skiis and i kept falling off......after lunch we went down 2 the Big D 2 ski......i fell down like 50 000 000 times and it was really exhausting 4 me cuz i always had 2 take off my skiis 2 get back up then put them back on.......cuz it was a really really long run, on the last slope, i skiied down half, then walked the rest. i had hot chocolate!!!! so YUMMY!!!! then at night we could go night skiing at Big D or go nightwalking/tabogonning. i did the nightwalk cuz i couldnt ski down big d in the afternoon... took photos..my whole body was aching after 2day and i was sooooooooooo sleepy!!
Sunday
2day was our last day in mt hotham....we went 4 our ski lesson, but this time the instructor took us 2 the summit. me annd my 2 other friends were really scared cuz the slope was pretty steep and we were afraid we couldnt get down cuz we didnt know how 2 turn properly. in the end we got a 'private lesson' cuz the ski instructor told everyone else to ski off while he taught us. he stole our poles cuz we kept using then 2 stop as we didnt know how 2 snow plough properly. in the end, we were able 2 ski downhill without falling and without poles!!! but apparently its much easier without poles. i ended up doing the summit run abt 5 or 6 times that day going up the chairlift continuously. i also used the t-bar a couple of times....but i fell off it twice...once was cuz i accidentally sat on it when u're not supposed 2...and the second was when my skiis got stuck in the snow...but in the end i used the t-bar with no problems. after lunch i went back 2 the big D. this time i was able 2 do the whole run 4 times up and down....i was soooooooooo pleased with myself and i didnt fall over once!!!!! we could only skii there 4 abt 1 and a half hrs though...i wanna go back there 2 ski again!!!!!!!!
the bus came 2 pick us up at abt 4pm and we reached skool at abt 10pm....it was such a loong journey back too.....but i enjoyed myself heaps!!! and took heaps of photos!!!! the weather during the weekend was also fabulous and i didnt have 2 wear many layers!
