Go skiing

Last Sunday, I have gone to Banff to ski. It was first time for me to go skiing.

It took us about one hour to get there. On our way Banff, the scenery was as beautiful as a picture: shinning sun, flying clouds, dancing mountains. I didn’t know the exact place where Nakiska locates. But the mountains made it up.

I took a lesson to learn how to ski. The trainer was a young woman. The classmates were all older than me. First, she taught us how to take on and take off the boots. Then we learned how to walk on the snow. Our poles were put behind us. She asked us to practise without poles.

Even though the trainer taught us how to stop patiently, I still couldn’t stop well. Of cause I had some accidents, I crashed down a girl when I was skiing down from the slope. I thought she was hurt. I felt sorry for her, and I didn’t mean to do that. But his father said it was ok, beginners always did like that. I think he is that kind. Maybe he just noticed that I felt guilty. After that I skied more carefully. We left Nakiska about 4 o’clock.

I like skiing; I would like to go skiing again.

If some of you like it, we can go together next time.

Hi Yuan
cool. Good for you. I really like to go sking, but I hate the cold weather. Maybe in far future when I adopt to the cold and dry weather I will try it.

Hi friend,
How are you doing? Well, I do want to ski like you. In my mind that skiing is so great that you can enjoy the snow and speed, right?
Have a nice day!

It's wonderful. I look forward to this kind of experience. The weather is warm now. Maybe next winter I will try it. Have you ever went skating? It's also fun and we can skating in Olmpic Oven in Campus for me. It's very good.

Hey Yuan!
I also never skied before in my life, until I went to Vancouver in the reading week. There I went to Whistler for my first lesson. I never liked the idea of sking, but my friend loves it so I wanted to try it for him. The experience was ok, so maybe I am going to ski once more. Have fun with exploring new things!
Greetings Karlijn
