At 6.45am in the morning we had to be at school and it was dark. Then when we got to Mt Hutt we had to tell the rental people our shoe size and weight for our skis or snowboard.
The ski boots were really heavy. When we got to our lessons we got learnt how to ski. We started off with one ski on our foot and then the opposite one. Then we got both on.
Then they took us on the magic carpet and we learnt how to do a pizza shape to stop. When you went down the hill you followed the other people. And your teacher would tell you when to stop and go.
Sometimes we would fall over and crash and we would have to take our skis off to get back up. I got a lot of bruises and marks from my boots.
On the magic carpet there was two lines into a big, long container. One line was for the ski school and one was for free time. Sometimes it stopped really smoothly but other time it didn't and we would loose our balance.
When you fell over it was hard to get back up again. And when you fell over you would slide down the mountain and it hurt because the snow was hard.
Some people discovered another slope behind the magic carpet. It was steeper and you went really fast. The first time we all fell over.
