On Sunday morning we left for the snow. The bus trip was 7 hours but filled with excitement. When we got there, we were all so happy to see snow everywhere that we had a snowball fight and ate some snow.

On Monday we had many trips and stumbles, but we learned how to ski by the end of the day. Tuesday and Wednesday we improved our skills. In the afternoons we built a big snow fort and played card games together. On Thursday it was very windy, so we skied extra fast. We did 15km in 3 hours all the way from Hotham back to Dinner Plain.
