Ski Camp

Year 9 Ski camp was a truly amazing experience. It would probably have to be the best school camp I’ve been on. Never in my life had I actually seen snow let alone ski, so this was a completely new experience for me. First arriving at the snow on day 2, I was very excited, even though the skiing shoes were digging into my legs with every step. I got on the chair lift, and when I got off at the other side, I fell over in a painful position and slid along a couple of metres. The first two days in the snow (out of 3) weren’t that good, as I was like an “octopus”, I couldn’t do much. It was only of the final day that I finally got the hang of it, and it was a lot of fun. I went down an actual hill that day. The worst part was when we had to stop skiing, and go back down to the buses, the last time we would ski that week. Back at the resort, the cabins were good, some cabins were better than others, sometimes a lot better. Meals were all free except the last night when we had a barbeque, all of the meals tasted good. We finally took the 3 hour bus trip home.
