Travel: Our trip to Norway
the day we had travelled 15 kilometres and were very tired, but we just wanted to go again. The next day was an early start and we had to drag ourselves out of bed, but when we started skiing it was fine. We were taught how to do the 180 off a jump. Some of the falls were excellent, luckily I caught some on camera! Then it was the final day, race day. It was fair though, as time was taken off your result depending on your skiing during the week. For example mine was - 0.4 seconds off Noah (who’s in the ski team), whereas Cameron, who was a beginner snowboarder, had 12 seconds deducted. In the end, Cameron won the snowboarders race with a great effort, putting Teddy Watling in 2 nd place. But in the ski race Noah took victory with a time of 17.51 seconds, because it was slushy (he got 16.47 in the morning when the snow was fresh). Also, the terrain had an effect on me and others as we had extra sticky skis. On the last day, after packing our skis away we set off back to England. The journey was short and sad as none of us wanted the experience to end. Finally after arriving back at Dulwich at 6:30, and saying our thank you to the teachers, we returned home thinking ‘What a fantastic trip!’
It was the beginning of April, 2015. With our bags packed, we were ready to go! It was an exciting journey. When we arrived at the airport, everyone was buzzing, and could not wait to put their boots on and start skiing. When we arrived, we could already feel the chill of snow down our necks. The hotel was
amazing, it even had a swimming pool. The rooms were immense. We then went for dinner, even though we were completely full from all the sweets and crisps we had consumed. The next
morning, it only took us about five minutes to get our boots on as we couldn’t wait to get on the slopes! My group went straight off to the top of the mountain. After we had raced down they split the advanced group up into the lower advanced and the upper advanced. At the end of
