Last Friday I went to Tekapo.
The trip to the ski field was bumpy. We did not put the chains on at the sign. We were about two kilometres away from the ski field. Then all of a sudden the tyres of the car lost grip. So mum moved the car slowly to the rocky side of the mountain and started to put on the chains.
When we got to the ski field we went to the toilets and then to the ticket booth. Then we went to get the gear that we hired. In the hire place we had to try on ski boots and helmets.
Then we had our lesson at 10:30 am. After that we just did some skiing by our self's. Then me and Geordie went on our sled. It was an awesome day.
Hi Maeve,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous weekend away - I love going up the skifield! Which one did you go to? Was it your first time? How did you feel when the car was slipping on the access road?
Perhaps you could choose one part of the day or just one moment and really go into detail about that? For example - how it felt driving up the access road, or just focusing on your lesson.
Keep up the great writing!

Hi Maeve,
ReplyDeletehow lucky were you to have such an awesome weekend in Tekapo just before Lockdown. I think I would have been a little worried when the car started slipping, fortunately you had the chains there! How did your lesson go? Are you a confident skier? It's hard to imagine the snow, when the last few days have almost felt like summer.
