MiaKaite: I miss the snow

Earlier on this year I went to Canberra in Australia to go skiing at Thredbo. Thredbo is one of the most popular skiing destinations in Australia and I want to go back! It wasn’t my first time skiing and it won’t be my last, I’m hoping next year to go again, if I’m not too busy!

I went with my mum and one of my brothers and stayed for about a week. The hotel wasn’t as nice as it looked on the website but it had a good vibe & was right outside the mountain. You could basically ski out the front door.

I haven’t been skiing since I was ten so it took me a little while to get used to it again. By the last day I was skiing really well but then unfortunately I had to leave.

The first day skiing was the hardest. My brother thought I would be okay to go on a really steep run. It was a blue run, the second hardest of runs. I was not okay. I ended up having to take my ski’s off and sliding down the slope on my bum.

I wish it were filmed because it was the scariest/funniest/ most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done. I can’t explain how fast I was going; I thought I’d never stop. And I screamed soooo loud haha. When I got to the bottom I started laughing and then crying because of the adrenaline. By the end of the week I ski down that scary steep slope with ease.

My brother thought this would be a good way to cool down his coke... Because the freezer wasn't good enough...

By day we skied and by night we went to lovely restaurants and explored the village. I love the style of clothes too, scarves & beanies & Ugg boots & gloves. The slopes were so gorgeous when it was sunny, the light reflected off the slopes and the contrast between the blue sky and white snow was so pretty.

Some people may be used to the snow but for people living in Australia and especially the Gold Coast never see it. So I am glad I got to have this experience.
