Ski Trip

The 8th Graders go on an 8th Grade Ski Trip every year, and this year, it was our turn! We drove up to Snow Mountain Ranch Thursday afternoon and got there at about 5:30. Then we put all of our bags and things in the rooms in the lodge. After that, we all went down to the KIVA. Most of my friends and I had already been to Snow Mountain Ranch before and were familiar with the KIVA so we knew exactly what we wanted to do. First played volleyball and then we got roller skates and all went rollerskating together. It was so much fun!!! :) We were falling all over the place... Hahahaha... My friend, Laura, and I go ice skating together sometimes so we had a little more experience than others, but we all had a great time.

Next, we walked back to the dorms and got into our warm clothes. We all hopped back into the buses and vans and drove down to the Frazier Tubing Hill. We tubed from about 8 to 9:30 and had a blast! We did some runs individually and then we did some group runs down together also. On one run, we had almost the entire grade and all of the chaperons go down together and it was SO much fun. After that, we were all exhausted and went back to the dorms to go to bed.

The next morning, we got up at 6, got dressed in warm clothes, had breakfeast, and set off to go skiing. It was soooooo cold and the wind was blowing very hard, but we didn't care... We were all skiing and snowboarding together and having a great time! We skied from about 8AM to 3 PM and only took a 30 minute break for lunch. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I started out with a bunch of my buddies that snowboard and a couple that ski and we did some blues. After lunchtime, I switched and went with my other skiing friends and we did blue-blacks and blacks and had a great time! :) The snow was powdery and perfect for skiing and I had a wonderful time!

Here are some pictures and videos of us on the trip...
