My trip to Big White

Tuesday April 7th 2009 my mom and I went to Big White Ski Resort. This is in Kelowna, British Columbia. When we got there, it was really really cold and there was a lot of snow on the ground. That evening my mom and I went tubing. Tubing is when you ride an inner tube down the hill. It moves really fast and when you get to the bottom, the ground is covered with hay because you don't want to slide across the ground. So, the hay keeps you slowing down and then you finally stop.
The day after that I took a ski lesson because I have never skied. It was a lot of fun. That afternoon, my mom and I went snowmobiling. When we were snowmobiling, half way through the trip, we bumped into a tree. It was a lot of fun. And after that I got to go on a small snowmobile all by myself. Another kid kept on cutting me off. He was really mean. That evening we went tubing again. My mom couldn't go because her knee hurt, but when I went it was even faster that night than the night before. But on one of the runs my head was slanted and it really hurt going down.
It was the first time that I saw snow on the ground and I built a snowman and I threw snowballs at my mom.
I liked Big White. I want to go back there for Christmas because there will be a lot of snow.

Sounds like you had an amzing holiday! You have written lots of great description about what you did. How did the snow feel?
