Qweenstown ski trip
On the 22nd of August 2017, I left to go on the ski trip with school. I was a tiny bit late but early compared to other people. We then left, went to the airport, flew over to Queenstown. I was in a good seat and managed to take quite nice photos on the plane of the mountains. We landed, went on the shuttle, took a video there and got our rooms and key card. I was a roommate with Troy, Myer and Barnabas we put our stuff in there and rested for a bit. We then were put into groups and I was in the group that went and rented some ski gear, all I got were ski pants. Then we met up with the other group who got groceries and walked back to the motel. After that some people went out to get Furgburger. We ordered pizza, so we did not have to go anywhere. After we ate we relaxed in our rooms or watched some TV. Then we went to bed. Sadly, our group did not manage to fall asleep until around 10-11pm. On the next day we woke up very excited for our trip. We went to have a shower and then get into our ski pants and jacket. We then went to have breakfast of cereal. I then had to wash my bowl and cutlery. After that we got onto the bus to take us up the mountain. It had some really breathtaking scenery. After we got up there, we had to get our helmet, skis and ski boots and put them on. We then went out for our lessons. I learnt how to go, walk with them and stop. After the lessons I took off my glove and felt the snow. It felt like lukewarm water getting colder. After that I practiced on the beginner slope. It started to get boring after a while. I then tried going up the chairlift and skiing down,but I could not manage it. So I kept on skiing on the beginner slope. Eventually we left at 4:00, after 7 hours of skiing. Then we had dinner. I had Furgburger because I had already had pizza. Reid went and got the food because all of us were so tired or stiff. After that we could shower, relax in our rooms or watch some TV in the TV room. On the next day we put on our gear and went for our lesson. I learnt how to turn and how to stop in ice. I then practiced on the beginner slope. After about an hour, I went up the chairlifts with Max. I managed to ski down the ski slope using everything I had learned without falling over. A few runs later I went up the chairlifts and went down the intermediate slope for the first time. I could do it too without falling over! So then I just kept on going up the chairlifts and going down the slopes. I tried doing the jumps but failed. Overall that was the most fun I had. We then got some sweets before we left on the next day, I got Bertie Botts every flavor beans (they actually taste like vomit, grass, soap and cherry). Then we got on the plane and went home. On the way back I took some more photos and just enjoyed the last trip back to Auckland. When we got back, we went to collect the bags and my mum and sister surprised me and said they were picking me up. Overall, that was the BEST TRIP EVER!
