School Ski Trip!

On Friday 28th of August, Rimu, Kauri and Totara took a bus up to Mt Hutt Ski Field. The bus ride up there was fine, up until about halfway up the mountain the clutch went and we were stuck on the bus; the driver tried rolling the bus backwards and the putting it into gear but it wouldn't work. Every time we rolled backwards people squealed. About 5 minutes later there were two other buses up the mountain and they were kind enough to take us up the rest of the way. It was a very intense morning.

Once we got up to the ski field we got our gear (boots, skis, poles and helmets) and most of us went for a quick ski down the Magic Carpet (the beginners slope) to refresh our minds on how to ski. The quad is the next level up kind of like intermediate. Also it's very slow going up which is frustrating because all people want to do is get up there and ski.I spent most of my time skiing down the quad with the boys because I couldn't find anyone else.

Friday was a fun day and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Next year when I go skiing I am going to try and go down Summit Six which is the very top slope.
