This week I’ll be continuing my blog on my family’s yearly ski trip. In my last blog, I left off with me and two family friend waiting for the rest of the group. When everybody gathered at the bottom of the lift, we went up together. At the top, we all decided to do a few greens before any blues. In skiing, there are 4 different kinds of slopes. Green is easy, blue is harder, black is harder than blue, and double-black is the hardest. After we did around 3 greens we started doing some blues. Soon, we ended up on the other side of the mountain. We ended going back after most of us got cold or tired.
When we got back to the house, we took a long break. Using a family friend’s switch, we play got to play many games. I ended up playing a lot of Tetris. The controls were very strange because I’m used to playing on the computer. After five minutes of practice, I got to my average speed (14 lines per second). When it was around dinner time, we went back out for night skiing. Soon, it got really dark and dangerous. On our way back to the house, I fell. During the fall, I bruised my rib. It didn’t hurt much, but it still hurt. A little later someone else from our group fell. Eventually, we made it back to the house. At the house, we waited for dinner to be made. Later, I found out that the adults would be going out for dinner. The kids stayed behind and ended up eating fries and other fried foods. After dinner, we played games and wait for the adults to return. Unfortunately, the restaurant was full. In the end, the adults returned and ate at the house.
The next day, we packed up. Fortunately, there wasn’t too much stuff. After packing, we went to the slopes one more time. Since I hurt myself yesterday, I decided to take it easy. That day, I planned to do more greens than blues. However, I ended up doing a lot more blues. After skiing, we ate lunch with our family friends. Afterwards, my family left the group to go home earlier.
Overall, I had a great time. It was fun going on our yearly ski trip. One of the negatives was no internet. To balance this out, there where a ton of games in the basement. In the end, I would have liked internet but I still had fun.
