The ski trip to Snow Summit was a lot of fun! It all began on wednesday morning.
Our cabin/condo was actually pretty big and cozy.
We went skiing everyday and watched a movie every night.
One night, we went into the windy dark creepy woods to gather firewood with her dad. It was about 15 degrees outside. Ellen and I were huddling together trying to pick up wood when all of a sudden a wooden gate starts creeking and it slams shut..
Ellen lit the fire but it burst into a huge flame and almost burned her face off. It was scary.
During our skiing adventures, at one point, i lost control of the skiis and i crashed into a fence. I hoped the plastic fencing would stop me but it didnt. So i slid about 30 feet after that into dirt and hay and my foot got stuck in a ditch. I stayed away from that area for the rest of the time.. We met a nice instuctor named Paul who taught us about pressure,edging and steering.
On the last night, it snowed! We went skiing again in the morning and ellen's mom assured us we would be fine going down summit run. Boy was she wrong. The ski lift went super fast above a woody hill and was about 15 mintues long. At the top, the wind blew directly at us and was so strong and knocked everyone off their skiis/boards. It was painful and everything was white and blurry. It was like a small blizzard which felt like tiny icy needles stabbing into your face. Luckily, we found an old lounge area and sat down and drank water while we this girl came in crying and her hands were bleeding(from frostbite).
The ski lift monitor girl let us go down instead of skiing down. I sat between ellen and these 2 tiny kids. The wind was blowing hard and it was like a dangerous cold disneyland ride. I asked the 2 little kids if they were okay. They nodded. Then i turned to ellen,who was looking even more miserable and asked her.
The car ride back took about 5 hours..even thought it was only suposed to take 1.5 hours. We listened to our ipods the whole way back. Due to the icy roads with snow, we had to put chains on the car and go really slow. Then all these accidents slowed us down even more. Then traffic slowed us even more down.
