Winter Narrative
Winter break is a time every high school kid looks forward to during the beginning of the school year. There are always big plans to be made with friends and a lot of time spent with the family. One of the days I had the most fun on break was the day I met some friends at Winterpark. It was nice to spend time with these friends because I don’t see them much and we have a lot of fun together. Snowboarding is one of m favorite sports and a great activity to do with friends.
The day started out with a long drive through the mountains with my dad. It turned out a light pole had fallen on I70 and traffic was horrible. It took an hour longer than usual to get there and my friends, Rohan and Jason, were getting impatient. After a few hours in the car, we finally reached the resort. It was a gorgeous day and there was plenty of fresh powder from the night before. After taking one run with my dad, I met up with the guys at the bottom of Mary Jane Mountain. They had gotten on the mountain early because they were staying in Jason’s cabin not far from the resort. Along with Rohan and Jason were Jason’s cousin Tom, and his friend Matt. We started the day off taking the Super Gage lift to the top of the mountain. All the guys were on skis so they thought it was funny to attempt to push me over getting off the lift. This type of thing continued throughout the day. They also made me go down the double black diamonds, which is not something I recommend to snowboarders considering the difficulty of the moguls. The guys, of course, thought it was pretty funny. Another funny thing that happened that day was when Rohan launched off a jump in the terrain park and fell in front of everyone. He made it over the first jump but something went very wrong on the second. He ended up losing both ski poles and one ski. When he came down for the landing, he fell back, sat on the ski that he still had, and could not come to a stop for a while. Jason and I watched from the bottom of the hill laughing and wishing we got the crash on video. Once Rohan gathered his scattered poles and missing ski, he came over and laughed with us. Although we thought it was funny, we were glad to see that he was alright. While the rest of the day was fun, that had to be my favorite part. I’ll be at Winterpark with those two again soon so I am sure we will have another great experience.
My day in the mountains with my friends Jason and Rohan is one I won’t forget. Snowboarding is something I recommend to everyone because you are guaranteed to have fun experiences with friends. Winter break is one of the best times to go since you can go up week days when it is not so busy. Snowboarding is probably the best way to spend winter break and I am definitely looking forward to next time.
