Mt Ruapehu skiing trip
I woke up at 4:30 feeling pumped and ready. I walked into the kitchen and ate breakfast. Me and Mum loaded our gear into the car and packed our lunches. Dad wished us luck and we drove to Shellys house to pick up James. It was still dark when we reached the school. Everyone was on the coart and me James, Biship and Tyreece played a game of half coart. Me and Lars got in the back and James and Tyreece sat in the front. I texted Kayla on the way down and listened to music. Tyreece didnt talk the whole way down.We all met at the Shato. James found a pocket knife and we all streched and talked. We got on the road again and drove up the mountain. When we got to the top we hired our gear and all of the class went to Happy Valley but me and Mum went up the mountain and did a run. We came back down to Happy Valley and I skiied with James and Amy. We skiied and skiied and then we all went up the mountain and all my mates had their ski lessons. I was so board so me and Mum had lunch. After we had lunch we went on a t bar and went as high as we could go up the mountain.Then we went back to happy valley.Me and James then organised to go up the mountain with Zane and Mr Marquand. Up we went up the chair lift and onto the other chair lift. Once we had skiied/boarded for about an hour and a half we sped back down to happy valley.I had races on the sleds with Pixie, Amy, Zane, Grayham and Taylor. We did heaps of runs on the sleds and me and Grayham got airborn!!! We then got our picture taken and had a snow ball fight. All on all, so mutch fun. Finally we packed up our gear and walked to the hiring station to retern our gear. Lucky for me i have my own skiis. The lift from happy valley up to the car park is a shocker. It is so steap it is crazy. When i walked down to our car with Tyreece and James we made a plan to ambush Lars when he came. It worked. On the way home i texted Pixie, Amy and Kayla. When we finally met at Mc Daonalds everyone was really sunburnt and half a sleep. We got on the road again and drove home. We dropped James and Tyreece off and drove to home sweet home.

It was great seeing you in action up the mountain Daniel. It was great to see you down in happy valley at times too spending time with those not as experienced. Do you feel you improved in your skills? What do you think is the most important things and attitudes to have when learning to ski? Mr Marquand
