Snow Trip

On friday room 7 went to Mt Ruapahu on a snow trip. We all met at school at 6:00am and set of for our long journey. We had a few toilet stop along the way, but made it to the Whakapapa side of Mt Ruapahu.

 At 9:00am we got all of our equipment and started to totter down happy valley. At 11:00am our lesson started. Becausse I already new how to ski I found the lesson a bit borring. At the start of the day I was a little bit nervous, but the nerves pushed of after half a hour of skiing.

After my lesson I was conferdent and was sawing down happy valley. We then stopped and had lunch. My dad and my sister had come down with us, we had gone really we before lunch so we decided to go to the upper mountain.

Unfortnaty I didn't have a very good start. the first time I went down I fell over 3 times and one of them was a tolal wipeout. I gragely got better untill I w as going down with no falls. It was getting late so we had to go back down to happy valley. I went up and down happy valley a few times before all of the lifts closed. On the way home we had Mc Donalds for diner. After we had eaten dinner we got in the cars and drove home and I fell asleep. A tip I have for people who are l earning to ski would be to not give up and and wear lots of sun screan.
