On Friday 28th August Yaldhurst School, well the Year 4-8s, went on a ski trip like we do every year.
We left school at 7:20am to go to Mt Hutt. It normally takes us about 90 minutes to get there. Our trip was going well and we were traveling along and then we started going up the mountain.
About half way up the mountain the bus driver missed a gear, then she stalled the bus and it didn't have enough power to go up the rest of the mountain. So some of the parents transported some of us up and we were about to call Mt Hutt but then a Casmere School bus came up and took 20 of us. After a few more minutes another one came and picked up the rest of us.
When we got up there Mr Robertson gave us our cards and we went in to get our ski boots and skis. Logan and I went up the magic carpet 3 or 4 times and then we had our lesson with an Australian man. We didn't go down the magic carpet in the lesson this year because we had already been up the quad.
The lesson went on for 1 and a half hours until 12:00 and the rest of the day we just went up the chairlift and kept going down. I went inside a few times to eat but that was only 10 minutes of my day. All up I would have spent at least an hour on the chairlift. Here are some photos and a video of our day.
I really enjoyed our ski day. It is great to see that you did as well. The bus mishap is all part of the adventure of going up the mountain. Thank you for writing such an interesting report Jack. Well done.
