My First Experience Skiing.

The first time i went skiing i went to Alpine Valley, which is about 5 minutes away from my cousin, Gina's house. we picked her up on the way there and since it is so close to her house she goes skiing there all the time in the winter. i assumed that she could teach me instead of going into a lesson. i was wrong. when we first got there it took a really long time to rent all of the ski equipment because we didn't have any of it. after that we decided to start going on the hills. the first hill we went on was a bunny hill because i was just starting out. the "magic carpets" were broken so they had the tow ropes going. to get up the hill the rope was going and you had to grab onto it and it would pull you up. you had to keep your skis straight or else you fell, trust me i know. i was doing pretty good on that hill and there was a hill that went off the back of it so we went down that one, around the corner and there was one with a chairlift, much easier than the tow rope. after we did that one a couple times we took a break and got something to eat. we were about to go on another hill when Gina met up with some of her friends. well they were snowboarding and they were pretty good. we went off with them while the rest of my family went off on other hills. well i don't think Gina's friends knew what "it's my first day ever skiing" meant so they took me on black diamond hills. it was not fun. the first hill we went on i got about halfway down the hill and then i just started rolling. my skis fell off and i landed right next to a tree. on the way to the next hill i asked Gina if we could go on an easier hill. she said yes but when we got to the next hill it was even harder. the next couple hills i was doing pretty good on but when i would get to the bottom of it there would be someone standing at the bottom and so i would just fall so i wouldn't hit them. then there was the biggest hill in the entire place. we were in line for the chairlift and it was our turn to get on, well when we went to sit down i wasn't sitting far back enough and when it jerked forward like it does everytime at the beginning i flew off. when we got to the top of the hill it was all one hill at the beginning and then it broke off into two different hills, one was the hardest one in the entire place and one.... wasn't. well everyone else went down to where it broke off and stopped. there they were deciding which way to go down. Gina was telling them that they should probably wait for me to see which one i would be more comfortable with. well i got down to that part when i realized i never learned how to stop. so i get down to them and i yelled "I CAN'T STOP!" so i just picked one and it turned out to be the harder one. i got down to the bottom and i actually didn't fall and everyone else did. i was very proud of myself until i realized that we were in the middle of nowhere and we had to walk a really long way to get anywhere. after that we stopped at the food place and i called my mom and i met up with her inside and i just rested the rest of the time. that was fine with me. over break, i'm going to Boyne Highlands to go skiing and my mom told me that i am for sure going in a lesson this time so i actually learn how to ski and have a good time.
