The first time I went skiing
Have you ever had your ski’s hanging off a mountain and starting to sweat wondering, how you are going to get down? The warm sun beated down on my face as I breathed in cold air chilling my throat tingling on the way down. This is what I was feeling on the first time down the mountain skiing.

Soon after that we made a morning stop to get breakfast the place we could count on mcdonald's. After we finished eating we headed to rent out skis the line had about five groups of people in it which went by surprisingly fast. Once we got our skis and snow gear on we went outside. Surprisingly the weather was refreshing and not cold from the warm stuffy lodge we had previously been
