Hey guys, Asher here. Today my post is about, Skiing! Our Yrs 4-8 went to Mt. Hutt on the 28th of August.
We had a blast! Up the Quad, down the Terrain Park, Highway 72, Summit Six and for the beginners it was just the Magic Carpet. Anyway, today I am focusing on one of the funniest things that happened that day. But, before that I will tell you about the bus breaking down. Yeah.
We were halfway up the mountain when the bus started to stop, in the middle of a gear change. We grinded to a halt, and the bus driver tried to get her up and running again, with no luck. And, to add to the excitement, every time the bus started then stopped we rolled back a bit. The Year 4s were all frightened, and so were people from our class. Teachers, the bus driver and even Cayde are on their phones to various people. Josh (wat up man?) rocks up in his car, and Blake (How you bro?) and his Dad go with him up the mountain. Chloe (You well? Say hi to Veya for me) also pulls up with Emily (Hey Immy, how's life? ;-) ) who then drive up with Me (woohoo!) and Logan, (Bro!). Cashmere School turns up, and give the rest of Yaldhurst a lift. But, enough of the bus. Time for the good stuff.

So, on the mountain, I have had my lesson, and I am going down Highway 72 again with Chloe, Emily, Jack, Blake and me. We are at the top and get going. Chloe has already fallen over, so we help her up. We set off again, and come to the first turn where we group up again. Apart from Emily, who is going fast, and can't stop. She then slams face first onto the icewall preventing you from going over the edge. It was Comedy cold, I mean Gold! We were laughing so hard, even Emily herself. We then got going, over the jumps, and into the tunnel, over the jump at the end of the tunnel, with me getting air of at least a metre. We then have a chuckle as Chloe falls over again. Fail. But, the definite highlight of that run was Emily's crash. Way to go, Immy! Jack had an EPIC fail. It involved a faceplant, a tunnel and the entertainment of us, but I'm running out of time today. Skiing was definitely worth the perils and if you get the chance, do it! I LOVE skiing, and Mt. Hutt is one of the best places to ski. PEACE!
Looks like fun but why would anyone go down a hill with 2 planks of wood strapped to their feet!
ReplyDeleteBecause we enjoy it! It was fun, and definitely worth the bus breaking down.

You guys had a fun crazy day! Great use of the pictures and interesting vocabulary. What run would you do if you went up tomorrow?

Probably the same, maybe another go down the Terrain Park. I reckon we should do more of these trips as a school. Skiing is something I would definitely like to do more often.
