Ski Trip

Ski Trip by Nicholas

On January 17, the fifth grade went on a field trip to Hidden Valley to ski. For the people that have never skied before, it was a challenge. But for the kids who had skied before, it was a breeze. Before we could get any of our gear we had to watch a safety video so we didn’t hurt ourselves while we were skiing. The kids that had gone skiing before got poles and got the opportunity to ride the chair lift. Everyone had to do ski school before they could go on a slope. The first station was getting your skis on. The second station was learning how to fall. The third station was learning how to walk facing forward. The fourth station was learning how to walk sideways. The fifth station was learning how to stop and start. The sixth station was applying the start stop skill on a slope. Once this was done 3 times you were aloud to go to the last station. The seventh, and last, station was being able to swivel between cones that were about 7 feet apart down a steep slope. Now Mrs. Barnes class wants to go again.
