Personal Narrative Skiing

I stepped into the area and waited in front of the red line for the chair to

come behind me. For the few seconds I wait I notice the things and people

around me. Like the man operating the chairs. And the 20 people waiting in line

behind me. And I look ahead at the hill I'm about be on top of. the chair comes around and pushes my legs forwards and my body

down. It takes me up the hill. As I go up I see other people going down, skiing

and snowboarding. I feel the strong wind and my face is numb. I hear people

talking on the lift behind me. I see the point where you get off coming up and I

put my foot on the snowboard and when I get there I slide off of the chair.

    Skid My heart suddenly started racing when I watched the driver in front of us drive off of the hill, into the tree, and then in the creek. It felt unreal, as if I were in a movie.
