We were going to Mt Ashland for the annual Blender Ski Trip. I was driving with my dad, Ian, Colin, and Javier. I got to try snowboarding for the first time, I was soooo psyched.
When I got there I went straight to the rental shop to get a snowboard. Then I went down Sonnet with Myan, Olivia, Iyesha, Henry, Jeshua, Marie and Anya, two times. I only fell three times each.

Then I went to my lesson. You see, there are five levels: Never Done Before Beginner, Beginner, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced. I started in the Never Done Before Beginner but I got moved up to the Novice group but that was too hard so I moved myself down to the Beginners with Colin.
After my lesson I went on Comer with Ian, Paul and Katie.
Then after lunch Mark, Toby, John, Paul, Ian, Henry, Sasha, Madeline, Willa, Madeline’s mom, my dad, Willa’s dad, William’s dad, William and I set out for the Bowl, Caliban and Dream. (I was on my skis.) We went on Caliban first, then we went on the Bowl three times. (The upper first shute once and the lower first shute twice.) Then we went on Dream and Paul got HUGE air and landed it on the Terrain park and Toby did a five-eighty spin landed it backwards, turned around (still skiing) and did a double spin on the next jump.
That was definitely the best ski trip ever.
