Yesterday 160 Casebrook students went up to Mt Hutt for the ski trip .We turned up to school at 7:00am and then 15 minutes later we left in cars and buses headed in Mt Hutt. 2 hours later we arrived at the mountain, excited and ready to go.
We started layering up our clothes ready to brace the cold but before we could take to the snow we had to go and get our skis ( or snowboards), boots, poles and helmets. We fitted our boots, put on our helmets and grabbed our skis and poles. We climbed the final stairway and placed our skis parallel on the snow. Our feet were placed in our skis and we pushed down until they clicked. We shuffled toward the magic carpet, a conveyer belt that took you higher up the mountain and rode up to the top. We came out the end and (kind of) skied down the mountain.After a while the wind crept up and blew ice in our faces and it wasn't so fun anymore. Then all the lifts closed and we had to climb up the mountain. This was really hard because even with our skis off we still had to carry them and our boots felt like lead strapped to our feet. But after all of this it was quite a great day and we would definitely go again.
