On Thursday 19 August we went up to the white wonderland of Rainbow Ski Field. Mapua School's Year 5-8 students went up the mountain for a fantastic day in the snow.
The morning was boiling hot as the sun shone on the slopes, it was so hot that many adults and kids, not wanting to be fried in the sun, were stripping off their under layers.
Level 1-3 skiers and snow boarders started their lessons after going through the rental shed. We had lessons so that we could relearn the basics so that we were safe to go down the slopes in case we had forgotten how to keep control and stop quickly.
Level 1 and 2 began at the learner slope then went to the intermediate slope if they felt comfortable doing so. Level 3 started and finished on the intermediate slope, but if they were told they could and if they had the skills, they were able to go on the T-bar. After all the lessons we got the rest of the day to do what we wanted.
The only thing that was bad about the day was that the snow began to melt a bit on the intermediate slopes so some rocks were showing up, but apart from that the day was great! The day was so amazing and to make it even more perfect it began to snow lightly at the end of the day! It was very magical indeed.
