Fun Day Of Skiing

Hello. This is Clarke talking. I am blogging today, instead of my mom. As you might have heard, lately it has been icing. The rain is freezing on to everything! We couldn't open the car door, because it was frozen. We heard on NCPR (North Country Public Radio) that it will snow over night. We were very excited. Yesterday, my dad brought up the idea of skiing today. We really wanted it to snow that night. It did, so we decided to go skiing. We left the house with all our equipment at about 9:15. We had to go to Cunningham's Ski Barn to get my brother new snow pants. We left there at about 9:4o(ish). We got at the mountain at 10:00 to find out that the hills might not be open, and if they do open, it will open up a little bit later. We decided to go get some breakfast at Wilmington (the town that Whiteface is in). We found Mel's Diner. It was delicious. I got chocolate chip pancakes with sausage. It was delicious. After having an amazing breakfast, we decided to go to Whiteface to see if any of the runs were open. It turns out that there were a couple runs open. Me and Oscar got our season passes for the year(WOOHOO!), my parents got a bunch of tickets to last them for a while, and we were off to the slopes! When we were getting our boots on, a guy from the Lake Placid News asked if he could interview us on why we like whiteface. Me and my brother said that we like it, because it has nicely kept ski slopes, and that you can go at your own pace (unlike hunter mountain). When we got on the slopes, we were pretty shaky at first (having not skied in 9-10 months) , but me and Oscar got back into the swing of things in 10 minutes. We skied until 2:30, and we just chilled in the lodge until 3:30.
This was a great day
